The memorandum directs the Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA) to provide recommendations within 60 days on how federal public buildings can reflect civic identity and respect regional and classical architectural styles. The goal is to beautify public spaces and enhance the nation's civic architecture. It also mandates that if the GSA plans to approve a building design that does not align with this policy, the Administrator must notify the President at least 30 days prior, explaining the reasons for this decision.
Simple Explanation
The President wants to make sure that new government buildings are pretty and fit in with their surroundings. If a building design doesn't follow these ideas, the people planning it have to tell the President why before moving forward.
