San Fantin, Venice also strongly editorialized in favor of the expenditure. The United States Army Corps of Engineers submitted a budget request of $431,000 to cover its share of the costs in 1969. But President Johnson, for reasons which were not made clear, deleted the request from the Army's budget submission to Congress. Johnson added the request to the president's contingency fund budget submission instead, which effectively left the decision to build the memorial to the next president, Richard M. Nixon (who took office in January 1969). On February 1, 1969, Nixon approved the expenditure from the presidential funds, and 	Grave of Robert F. Kennedy

The Army formally announced on June 6, 1969, that the memorial would be built for a total cost of US$677,000, with the Kennedys picking up about 62 percent of the total cost (and agreeing to pay for any cost overruns). The memorial would be due south of the John F. Kennedy grave site. The Army said, however, that construction would not begin until funds had been appropriated by Congress. As the presidential contingency fund budget request wound its way through Congress, some members of Congress also concluded that 	Grave of Robert F. Kennedy
12123332	the federal government should not pick up the cost of the memorial's access roads and improvements. In the House of Representatives, Representative William J. Scherle (a Republican from Iowa) sponsored an amendment to strip the memorial funds from the president's budget request. The House defeated his amendment, 74-to-27, but the vote showed that there was at least some support for Scherle's position. The cost of the grave and memorial were estimated again in 1970 and found to still be US$677,000, of which 62 percent would still be borne by the Kennedys. On October 21, 1970	Grave of Robert F.

The total cost for the project was now US$747,000, with the Kennedy family now paying about 75.8 percent of the total cost. Construction began on November 9, 1970, and was expected to take a year. The approaches to both Kennedy graves were altered when the Robert F. Kennedy memorial was built. Previously, the approaches to the John F. Kennedy site consisted of a series of long steps. But several 	Grave of Robert F. Kennedy
12123334	individuals in wheelchairs appealed to Senator Edward M. Kennedy, and the steps were replaced by long ramps in June 1971. The design for the Robert Kennedy memorial, too, was changed to feature ramps rather than stairs. Final site design. Robert F. Kennedy was disinterred on December 1, 1971, and his body moved to the new grave site. The disinterment, witnessed by Ethel Kennedy and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, began at 5:30 PM. Reburial was complete at about 9:00 PM. The final grave site and granite plaza were dedicated on December 6, 1971. Robert F. Kennedy's final resting place is 	Grave of Robert F. Kennedy

Robert Kennedy is buried upslope from the plaza, his burial vault marked by a white wooden cross at its head and a slate headstone set flush with the earth at its foot. A low granite wall at the rear (straight, southeast side) of the plaza contains quotations from two famous Robert F. Kennedy speeches, with a small reflecting pool at the base of the wall. The granite for the plaza came from Deer Isle, Maine, which was also the source for the granite for the terrace at the 	Grave of Robert F. Kennedy

It reads: The second quotation is from an impromptu address Kennedy gave to an angry crowd of African Americans in Indianapolis, Indiana, the night Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. It reads: The final cost of the grave and memorial were US$747,000. Journalist Evan Thomas later wrote that the overall impression left by the Robert F. Kennedy grave and memorial plaza is one of loneliness and sadness. Vandalism and theft. On January 4, 1970	Grave of Robert F. Kennedy

The cross and the footstone marking Robert F. Kennedy's grave were stolen in 1981 and never recovered. They were replaced. Grave of Robert F. Kennedy The grave of Robert F.

It stands in front of the Fenice Theater and adjacent to the Ateneo Veneto (the former Scuola grande di San Fantin). This parish church was first erected in the 10th century under the patronage of the patrician families from Barozzi, Aldicina, and Equilia. Reconstruction was undertaken by the Pisani family, who installed in the church a miraculous icon of the Virgin they had obtained from the East. The church of San Fantin by the 15th century came to be 	San Fantin, Venice

A number of relics were transferred to this church including the body of Saint Marcellina and an armbone of the martyred Saint Trifone, Protector of Cattaro. Work on the church has been assigned or attributed to many architects, from Pietro Lombardo, Sebastiano Mariani, and later Jacopo Sansovino. Over the door of the sacristy is conserved the funeral urn of Vinciguerra Dandolo, a work by Tullio Lombardo. In 1908, the church  was documented to hold two Piazzetta paintings: "Liberation of Venice from the Plague" and a "Pieta". It had a "Holy Family" attributed to Giovanni Bellini, a "Crucifixion" by Lionardo Corona, and a "Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth" by Tintoretto. These works have been relocated elsewhere.
