After a hearing his panel held on the issue Tuesday, Bishop cited a lack of consensus among the 11 members of the Eisenhower Memorial Commission on how to proceed.
"They are asking in very difficult times to put money into this project," Bishop said of the commission, which has received federal funds every year since 1999, when legislation authorizing the construction of a memorial to the president and war hero was enacted. "I want to make sure that if the money goes into this project, that they come up with something we can be proud of."
