MEMORANDUM TO: The President
FROM:
Lorenzo S. Winslow
The attached memorandum sent to me from Mr. Robert E. White
of the Spencer, White and Prentis Company, may be of special
interest to you.
The Structural Engineer, Mahmood K. Taher is a young Persian
engineer, formerly in the Persian Diplomatic Service but now
naturalized and a resident of Washington, D. C. He was temporarily
employed by Spencer, White and Prentis during the underpinning
operations.
The Spencer, White and Prentis Company, together with Mr.
White, should be especially commended for the efficient and
economical manner in which all of the underpinning work was
executed.
It was reported at the meeting of the Commission last Tuesday
that the underpinning of the Mansion was 98% completed at 64% of
the original estimated cost. The original estimated cost of the
following work performed by Spencer, White and Prentis, was made
