Eisenhowers: Memorial design better, but not good enough

The Eisenhower family released a statement Wednesday saying the recent changes to the design of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial didn’t go far enough to address their objections and asked for more time “to break the impasse.”

The statement, published on Susan Eisenhower’s website, is the first time the family has spoken out since famed architect Frank Gehry revealed his changes to the plan on May 15 during a meeting of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission.
