General Bishop stated they had approval for a $500,000 structure and they would have a million and a half dollar payroll on this facility and would like to move out with it. The City Manager recommended that before the lease is executed, he would like to get Congressional approval of what the State Legislature had already done, or the whole tract at Camp Mabry. The Mayor suggested that the City Manager and City Attorney talk to General Bishop, and go on and get this matter through Congress.
