The landscaped m em orial would cover a four-acre triangle on the
shore o f W ashington’s Tidal Basin, between the Lincoln and Jefferson
M em orials and next to the Franklin D. Roosevelt M em orial. It would
include an elevated w alkw ay overlooking the basin, a huge stone

trees.
The architects said their ideal design rem ains alm ost identical to the
original, although th e y 're considering changes to add extra security
and traffic control should they be required.
