Three Republican Congressman in a June 30 letter say they want LMDC to come up with a more suitable plan for the Freedom Center by the time Congress returns from recess on July 11 or they will seek legislation.
They say:
What troubles us is the suggestion that Ground Zero is an appropriate place to host exhibits outside the scope of a September 11th memorial. As an example, veterans of World War II deserve our highest thanks; they deserve a memorial, indeed, a series of memorials, to the incredible struggle they waged on behalf of civilization. It would not make sense to site such a memorial at Gettysburg or Bull Run. Just as we would not place a World War II memorial at those locations, the IFC should not be a platform to expound issues and positions outside the direct scope of the events of September 11th.
