MEYER [[/underlined]] VOTED that the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution recognizes the long-standing relationship between the Meyer family and the Freer Gallery and the magnitude of their gifts for the renovation of the auditorium and hereby names the auditorium in the Freer Gallery of Art The Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Auditorium. [[underlined]] ESTABLISHMENT OF A RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTER IN KENYA [[/underlined]] Mpala Ranch is a 40,000-acre tract of grassland and dry woodland in north central Kenya and an ideal site for interdisciplinary research and training in ecology, evolution, geology, and resource management. It is home to largely intact fauna characteristic of East African savannahs, including lion, leopard, cheetah, two species of zebra, cape buffalo, hippopotamus, giraffe, and many other large and small mammals. Mpala Ranch lies in the middle of the Laikipia Ecosystem, with over 400,000 acres of contiguous properties, most of which actively conserve wildlife. Mpala Ranch also has a small commercial cattle operation, thereby providing important opportunities for research on the interactions of cattle with wildlife, a vitally important issue throughout Africa.
