TITLE 20—EDUCATION
§ 85
sembled, June 13, 1966, pursuant to the provisions of
the Reorganization Act of 1949, 63 Stat. 203, as amend-
ed [see 5 U.S.C. 901 et seq.].
NATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL PARK BUILDINGS AND
BRIDGES
All those functions of the Board of Commissioners of
the District of Columbia which were vested in the mu-
nicipal architect of the District of Columbia by the
provisions of the Act of August 24, 1912, c. 355, 37 Stat.
437 (20 U.S.C. 84; D.C. Code [former] § 8–134), in respect
of buildings of the National Zoological Park, and all
functions of that Board which were vested in the engi-
neer of bridges of the District of Columbia by those

ical Park, are hereby transferred to the Smithsonian

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
To the Congress of the United States:
I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 4 of
1966, prepared in accordance with the Reorganization
Act of 1949, as amended, and providing for a reorganiza-
tion relating to the National Zoological Park located
in the District of Columbia.
Today, all responsibilities for the administration of
the park are vested in the Smithsonian Institution
with one exception—the function of preparing plans
and specifications for the construction of buildings and
bridges at the zoo. That statutory responsibility is now
conducted by the Board of Commissioners of the Dis-
trict of Columbia [now the Mayor].
Under the accompanying reorganization plan, the re-
sponsibility for the preparation of these plans and spec-
ifications would be transferred from the District of Co-
lumbia Board of Commissioners to the Smithsonian.
The complete administration of the park would then be
vested in one agency—the Smithsonian Institution.
