That job goes with the U.S. Steel chairmanship, but Blough never seemed fully comfortable in the statesman's role.

...some 50 U.S. local and national Jew ish organizations have been searching continually for sculptors or architects to design a suitable monument. Finally, three years ago, a formal Committee to Commemorate the Six Million Jewish Martyrs was set up. The art advisory committee, under the chairmanship of Washington Insuranceman-Collector David Lloyd Kreeger, had no difficulty in agreeing on Philadelphia Architect Louis I. Kahn.
