Approve the arch, then hold the shovel

Design submitted a triumphal arch. Security returned it with sniper positions.

No giant Camera in my BEST VIEW! Do the Securing a little more Beautifully.

Facilities found room for drones under the words 'timeless national beauty.'

Aviation approved an eternal flame. Risk Management requested that it be separated from the ammunition.

An Arch has to look like an ARCH!

Beautiful Arch, people will come from ALL OVER! Beauty AND Securing, why wouldn't we protect it??

I build beautiful things, they ask about DRONES! You need Beauty, protect the Beauty, Paris didn't have all these little flying things when they built theirs. Could hear one coming then, probably! Now tiny little things, very quiet..... nobody's ruining MY Arch with an Internet Toy. But don't make the Protection bigger than the Arch, I have a VERY GOOD EYE!

I've always said HEIGHT matters. Finally the equipment agrees with me.

The government has submitted security arguments against an injunction.

People look at my Arch and see a beautiful Arch, which is correct, excellent eyes. Pete looks up and sees Defense. Now we're getting somewhere. I designed something so goodly it has another career before the first career has even started!

Construction still requires the approvals described in the filing.

Above-ground work is not anticipated before May 2027.

I don't want a ribbon-cutting for a hole.

And keep the nice view in the drawings. I know we're safety-ing it, I don't want a tremendous monument that photographs like the back of a router.

After I leave??

The estimated construction duration extends beyond the current presidential term.

Approvals are still pending. The estimate does not reserve an opening date.

I have built faster than that, much faster, although everyone suddenly becomes a foundation expert when it's MY building. They want months under the ground where nobody can see the work. Terrible place for a progress photograph, I have said this.

Keep my name on the handover.

The project file will retain its originating administration and subsequent decisions.

Originating Administration is a very small way of saying who thought of the beautiful thing. I want the future people properly briefed, before they start taking credit for discovering the HOLE.

I got the approval. Put that somewhere visible.

The approval and the temporary restraint are both operative records.

They approve a beautiful Arch and immediately start preserving the EMPTY SPACE, I have never seen so many people employed by a place where nothing is. Tremendous workforce for Nothing. My drawing at least has something in it.....

Contractor instructions must reflect the restraint before any work proceeds.

I want the shovel kept polished.

The construction calendar will retain the legal hold.

And I want the approval in the front of the folder, no reason the piece of paper that likes the Arch should be buried under all the other paper.
