Mr. HOLLEY. 12.5 million; 12,566,000 exactly.

Mr. FASCELL. You estimated attendance could be off by 50 percent and still continue debt service?

Mr. HOLLEY. Still protect the debt service on both bond issues.
Mr. FASCELL. Based on an admission figure of $1.50 per adult?
Mr. HOLLEY. Yes, sir.

Mr. FASCELL. Does that include children?

Mr. HOLLEY. That is 75 cents.

Mr. FASCELL. We did not have that in the record.

Mr. HOLLEY. Yes, sir.

Mr. FASCELL. The projections that you made on Latin American visitors, I believe, was 500,000 visitors. Let us put it that way, outside the local, State, or regional, 500,000 annually?

Mr. HOLLEY. That is right.

Mr. FASCELL. Is that based in any way on the number of annual visitors from Latin America who now come into the port of Miami at the rate of 1 million plus a year?

Mr. HOLLEY. This is more judgmental. It takes into account the present rate of visitors and the nature of the visitors. This is probably the most judgmental of all the figures that we have come up with. It does include that, yes, sir. That is one of the sources of information.

Mr. FASCELL. In arriving at this judgment, however, you included all entries of other visitors into that area, is that correct, by land, sea, and air?

Mr. HOLLEY. However they get there and the experience from other expositions. How they actually drew attendance from out of the country.

Mr. FASCELL. How does that judgmental factor relate in this report in comparison with the same factor in the report on the San Antonio Fair?

Mr. HOLLEY. The projection in Interama is considerably higher than the one in San Antonio.

Mr. FASCELL. Why is that?

Mr. HOLLEY. It is more significant, it is a much bigger exposition for one thing. It is three times as large in terms of acreage, as an example. Also we are projecting a considerably higher attendance. Mr. FASCELL. Thank you.

Any other questions?

Claude, and gentlemen, and Dr. Muskat, thank you very much for a thorough and able presentation.

We will adjourn this meeting to have an executive meeting to consider other matters and try to do that as rapidly as we can.

Mr. PEPPER. Again, I want to thank my distinguished colleague, friend, and chairman of the committee for the kind attention and splendid hearing you have given us.

Mr. FASCELL. The hearing is adjourned.

(Whereupon, at 12:23 p.m., the subcommittee proceeded into executive session.)

APPENDIX A. CATEGORICAL EXHIBIT

A suggested approach to the categorical exhibits in the Federal Building could depict the scope of government in all aspects of the Nation's progress. It could illuminate its character, history, political, social, and economic progress. The

heritage of our country could be communicated by facsimiles of the Articles of Confederation, Declaration of Independence, Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights. The story of our Revolution, the War between the States, and the wars of the 20th century and their significance on our people in a changing world could be dramatized.

Exhibits could also explain the purpose and importance of the Alliance for Progress to our citizens and explain to the Latin American leaders from all walks of life-those who can help accomplish the Alliance for Progress goals about rational taxation, agriculture, agrarian reform, health and welfare, industrialization and trade-and would have the opportunity of identifying their own problems with ours and find their solutions through individual initiative.

Our 50 States and their significant contributions to the American way of life could be portrayed. The story of our States may describe the original colonies and the thrust of its people to create our vast country. The history of the development of our regional areas, such as the Southwest, and the influence of its Spanish culture could be supported by indigenous artifacts covering the span of history.

Exhibits could explain the structure of our Government and the opening of the West by our pioneers, the Homestead Act and its influence on our growth, the development of our railroads and highways, the enlargement of our overseas trade, and the important role of the agencies in the executive branch of Government in serving our people.

Exhibits may encompass the story of the development of our system of free education, our voting system and its extension to all segments of our population, the establishment of our patent system which encouraged a great flood of inventions. Exhibits could demonstrate the contribution of the role of science in space exploration and the development and implications of the science of oceanography-and a host of other exhibits-which may be used to dramatize the great events and achievements which have created our American way of life.

APPENDIX B. AUTOMATED AUDIOVISUAL LIBRARY

An automated audiovisual library could permit the visitor to the Federal Building to have complete freedom in selecting a wide choice of subjects. Films or tapes may provide the broadest variety of topics related to the Government's role in evolving through progress with freedom our American way of life. Films on the selected subject could become available instantaneously by an automated process.

Presentation of the films could take place in a series of small theaters or -cubicles in an environment conducive to relaxation, review, and study for either a single individual, or for a family or small group of visitors.

This communication technique could offer comprehensive interviews on a person-to-person basis on a specific subject, or with a group of persons, who have shaped a major event which has made or will make an impact on U.S. history. Other presentations could be similar to the "You Are There" television shows and could also be built around stories of great immigrants and uncommon men who contributed so much to the American way of life.
