Dear Coalition Friends:

On Sunday, January 14, CBS Sunday Morning is scheduled to broadcast a story about memorial building in Washington and on the National Mall. How much is too much?

I was one of the people interviewed by reporter Rita Braver for the Mall segment and tried to get in the Coalition's point about protecting the Mall's public open space by expanding the Mall to create new places for museums, memorials, and public uses of all kinds.

CBS Sunday Morning runs from 9:00-10:30 a.m. EST.
