Letter
Dear Mr. Peterson:
In its meeting of 18 April, the Commission of Fine Arts reviewed alternative designs for a Congressional Gold Medal in accordance with the Code Talkers Recognition Act of 2008; this medal, the twelfth in the series, will honor the Muscogee Creek Tribe.
For the obverse, the Commission recommended alternative #1 due to the superior legibility of the design elements and the near–profile pose of the central figure. For the reverse, the Commission recommended alternative #3, consistent with the tribe's preference, as the best design.
As always, the staff is available to assist you with future submissions.
Sincerely,
/s/Thomas E. Luebke, FAIA
Secretary
Richard A. Peterson, Acting Director
