Recent Developments in Proposed Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial

Dear Members and Friends:

There are two recent developments in the ongoing official discussions and review of the proposed Dwight D. Eisenhower memorial on the Mall in Washington DC that I wanted to bring to your attention:

1) A prominent opinion piece from yesterday's Washington Post by ICAA board member and Chicago financier and philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus, which wisely advocates a national design competition in the spirit of America's competitive best. To read the article in its entirety, click here; and

2) A pathway for watching the Congressional hearing live tomorrow, March 20, 2012 at 10:00 am, which features among others testifying Susan Eisenhower and ICAA trustee emeritus Rodney M. Cook. The hearing can be viewed at http://naturalresources.house.gov/Live.

We are grateful for your shared interest.

Best regards,
Paul Gunther
