It is decided to create a visitor's center near the south entrance to Temple Square. The center will be "provided with a tract for free distribution, specially written to cover a brief history of the church, its first principles, and a description of places of interest in Salt Lake City, general tracts treating the principles of the gospel from our standpoint, and other church literature; that the bureau should be in charge of two young men, naturally adapted for the work, to be called as missionaries for two years, one to distribute the literature and the other to operate as a missionary on the temple block."
