Congress Should Sign Off on Eisenhower Memorial - Washington Post editorial.
… the memorial’s commission approved a final version of Gehry’s design last month, and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts granted preliminary approval to the major contents of that design last week. Quite simply, Mr. Gehry’s proposal promises to be a wonderful addition to the face of the Mall, a vision Washington is lucky to have. Moving forward, Congress should authorize these plans as quickly as possible so the memorial can proceed on schedule. As entertaining as these squabbles have often been, enough is enough already.
