suspected there might be
something wrong with my

order a Phi (protein-bound
iodine test to check on the

I had a protein" condition.
I had never heard Of such q
thing following this test and
I asked him what 1t was. He
waved his hand and said air.
lily, "Oh, protein, you know.
Meat, fish, eggs, etc."

Representative Udall in letter
to Chairman Jones states that
Goa stal and Geodetic Survey mark
ed the location and the Bureau of
Land Management erected the
present monument.
Udall further stated that sug-
geStionS had been made that the
new monument be a flat, raised
concrete platform, in which would
be set bronze seals of each of the
four corner states.
An attraction would be that
visitors could stand on top of the
monument and could place their
feet in two or more states. Udall
suggested that the four governors,
the Navajo Tribe, and the govern
ment might cooperate in the plan
ming and design of this project.
