for the purpose of considering and formulating plans for the design, 
construction, and location of a permanent memorial to Woodrow 
Wilson in Washington, District of Columbia, or in its immediate 
environs. The Commission shall, in general^ decide on the advisability 
of one of two kinds of memorials: One which would be a monument 
similar to those which honor Presidents Washington, Jefferson, and 
Lincoln; or one which will serve as a building of a functional nature, 
or, as it is often called, a "living memorial". 
The Commission shall 
study, among others, proposals to associate the memorial with the 
Washington International Center program for international visitors. 
(b) The Commission shall be composed of the following members:

(B) The Woodrow Wilson Centennial Commission (now dis-
charged) ; and

the Director of the National Park Service, or his representative. 
(c) The Commission shall select a chairman and a vice chairman 
from among its members. Vacancies occurring in the membership 
of the Commission shall be filled in the same manner as the original 
appointment. 
(d) The members of the Commission shall serve without compensa-
tion, but shall be reimbursed for expenses incurred by them in carry-
ing out the duties of the Commission. 
(e) The Commission shall report such plans, together with its 
recommendations, to the President and Congress at the earliest 
practicable date, and in the interim shall make annual reports of its 
progress to the President and Congress. 
However, such plans and 
recommendations shall not be reported until the Commission has 
obtained the assistance and advice of the National Capital Planning 
Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts if the memorial is to
