The family had complained the design focuses too much on Eisenhower's humble Kansas roots, rather than his accomplishments.

Gehry has proposed a memorial park near the National Mall that would be framed with large metal tapestries showing a Kansas landscape. At the center of the park, Gehry is making changes.

He is replacing large stone sculptural reliefs with statues showing Ike as a World War II hero and as president. Quotations from Eisenhower would serve as a backdrop.

The memorial commission is expected to vote on the changes Tuesday. Before the vote, all the members voiced their approval of the changes.
