SURVEYING AND MAPPING EXHIBIT AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS!!!!

The Library of Congress "Surveying and Mapping" exhibit, sponsored by
the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) and the
Cartography and Geographic Information Society (CaGIS) will be unveiled
at its Geography and Map Division on the basement level of the Madison
building in the afternoon on Tuesday, September 13, 2005.  This exhibit
features winning entries from the ACSM-CaGIS Map Design Competition over
its 34 year history.  It also features winning surveying and plat map
entries from the National Society of Professional Surveyors Map
Competition.

The Madison building is located at the Southeast corner of 1st St. and
Independence Ave., SE, Washington, DC.  1st Street SE lies on the east
side of the Capitol building, and separates the Capitol from the Supreme
Court building and the Library of Congress building (old ornate
building).

ACSM will hold a reception on Tuesday, September 13 immediately after
the unveiling.  The location for the reception is still being
negotiated, but will be nearby to the Madison building.  The public will
be able to begin viewing the exhibit at start-of-business on the morning
of Wednesday, September 14.
