Kautsch attended the first "Permanency meeting" ahead of June's grand Art Congress, "a fraternisation from all artists from all countries". The other artists were sorry de László was not there; Kautsch spoke on his behalf. The Permanency Commission was elected for five years; there were no Hungarians present; the Viennese sent many well-known people (e.g. Klimt, Hoffmann); Kautsch was elected delegate in Vienna and de László as "Secretaire"; he will receive official notice.
