Dear Mr. Moy:

In its meeting of 16 October, the Commission of Fine Arts reviewed and approved the proposed design for the medal honoring the second term of President George W. Bush, commenting on the dramatic composition of the obverse. The Commission members appreciated the opportunity to inspect the completed medal from President Bush’s first term and recommended that, as on the prior medal, the quotation on the reverse include citation of the date.

As always, the staff is available to assist you with future submissions.

Sincerely,

Thomas E. Luebke, AIA
Secretary
