Inscription on south side: "The Department of commerce assembles here the forces designed by Congress to advance the interests of industry and trade through experimental research, the dissemination of knowledge and administrative vigilance. It stimulates the progress of America upon land and sea and in the air and thereby speeds the nation in the march of Mankind." Inscription on east side: "The inspiration that guided our forefathers led them to secure above all things the unity of our country. We rest upon government by consent of the governed and political order of the United States is the expression of a patriotic ideal which welds together all the elements of our national energy, promoting the organization that fosters individual initiative. Within this edifice are established agencies that have been created to buttress the life of the people, to clarify their problems and coordinate their resources seeking to lighten burdens without lessening responsibility of the citizen. In serving one and all they are dedicated to the purpose of the founders and to the highest hopes of the future with their loyal administration given to the integrity and welfare of the nation." | ||
