The environmental impact statement for the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library will be ready next month, George Grant, a C.E. Maguire executive, said yesterday.
Maguire, the government's consultant firm for the study, has turned over to the General Services Administration more than 800 pages of draft and is helping the GSA edit it, Grant said.
He said his discussions with the GSA will end within the next two weeks and the report would be ready for publication shortly thereafter.
Richard Vauders, the GSA's director of public affairs, said yesterday the agency may release the original, unedited Maguire report to the public. "I'll have to check on it," he said, "but unless it's classified or something we generally make it available."
His answer came in response to a Crimson request for the documents under the Freedom of Information Act.
Under the process outlined in the Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the GSA, as the agency "most concerned" with the Kennedy Library, has the authority to edit the Maguire material before presentation to the public.
Grant said he would have "no objections" to the release of his firm's original report. "It would stop all sorts of rumors about what we wrote," he said.
Grant had no comment on reports that the company's impact statement contains statements adverse to construction of the Kennedy Library in Cambridge.
"I will only say that our reports avoids making conclusions or recommendations, and only presents the date as we have gathered it," he said.
