Barry,
I encountered this a couple years ago at a reception during early to
mid-afternoon, and was worried about the same when I got there, especially
as it was Kodachrome 64.  Used a flash with a diffusion panel to soften it
and avoid any harsh shadows.  The daylight coming through the windows
combined with diffused flash had enough daylight color temperature to
overtake the ugly flourescent green.  There was enough ambient light that
the flash ended up being more or less "fill."

Using color negative can help with any minor correction needed.  If
possible I recommend taking some light readings there in advance during the
same time of day to determine how much ambient you will have (daylight plus
flourescent).  Then you can plan a film speed that will allow some fill
from flash . . . if that's the route you choose.
