Sec. 104. Commission of Fine Arts

    A permanent Commission of Fine Arts is created to be composed of 
seven well-qualified judges of the fine arts, who shall be appointed by 
the President, and shall serve for a period of four years each, and 
until their successors are appointed and qualified. The President shall 
have authority to fill all vacancies. It shall be the duty of such 
commission to advise upon the location of statues, fountains, and 
monuments in the public squares, streets, and parks in the District of 
Columbia, and upon the selection of models for statues, fountains, and 
monuments erected under the authority of the United States and upon the 
selection of artists for the execution of the same. It shall be the duty 
of the officers charged by law to determine such questions in each case 
to call for such advice. The foregoing provisions of this section shall 
not apply to the Capitol Building of the United States and the building 
of the Library of Congress. The commission shall also advise generally 
upon questions of art when required to do so by the President, or by any 
committee of either House of Congress. Said commission shall have a 
secretary and such other assistance as the commission may authorize, and 
the members of the commission shall each be paid actual expenses in 
going to and returning from Washington to attend the meetings of said 
Commission and while attending the same.
