Mr. President This morning, I conducted an inspection regarding the petitioner's request to build a room on the roof of the esteemed Presidency. The aforementioned individual pledges to build the said room and cover all necessary expenses from his own pocket and link the endowments to a rental fee as seen fit by the esteemed committee. As for the path that must be taken to this room, it passes through a corridor between the heirs of Menachem and the properties of Mr. Saleh Qahtan. He will pass through Mr. Saleh Qahtan's property before that, while the roof and the room intended to be built belong to the heirs of Menachem. I recommend that ⟦a mandate⟧ or a technical expert be assigned to inspect the roof of the Presidency to see if there is any objection if the aforementioned room is built, and at the same time, a section of the ceiling of the gallery covered with corrugated iron must be raised. The aforementioned individual shall bear all expenses for the room intended to be built, and its ownership shall belong to Mr. Saleh Qahtan. This is the summary of the inspection carried out regarding the petitioner's request in his petition. ⟦...⟧ September 20, 1967
