CFA 17/JUL/03-1

Dear Mr. Metzler:

During its meeting of 17 July, the Commission approved the proposal for a memorial to the crew of the Columbia Orbiter. The revisions create a simple and straightforward design that is respectful to the memory of the crew.

Please submit an example of the photographic etching technique for staff review. If you have future questions, the staff is available to assist you.

Sincerely,

/s/
David M. Childs, FAIA
