		The 12-man commission included senators, congressmen, members of the Jefferson Memorial Foundation, and descendants of Jefferson; Kimball was the only member who was an architect and architectural historian, and the only member to possess a firm conception of what the memorial should be.

		This was the final straw, and the Jefferson Memorial Commission obtained Roosevelt's approval to proceed with the pantheon, in spite of furious protests from architects and the public, organized by Clarke, which continued throughout 1937 and 1938.
