Roll Call has this item on how tweaks to a memorial for President Dwight Eisenhower in Washington, D.C., have been well received after a rough start.

Excerpt:

But lingering concerns from the Eisenhower family, outside groups and Members of Congress about the design and its selection process could derail progress.

The window for reaching consensus continues to narrow in advance of a
July 12 meeting between the Eisenhower Memorial Commission members and the National Capital Planning Commission, the agency that must approve the design for groundbreaking to take place.

“Time is of the essence,” Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii), a World War II veteran, said of building the four-acre memorial dedicated to his one-time supreme commander. “There is a national interest in making sure this monument is completed to remind the next generation of Americans what America has gone through and the great leaders we’ve had.”
