Dear Mr. Siciliano and Brig. Gen. Reddel:

The Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission's ("Commission") Fiscal Year 2014 budget request seeks a total of $51 million to pay for the construction of the planned Eisenhower Memorial and the salaries and expenses of the Commission itself. This would be in addition to the $63 million total that has already been appropriated for the planned Memorial and the Commission since 1999, of which $30.9 million was appropriated in Fiscal Year 2012 for the Memorial's design.

Read the entire letter HERE.
