| Title | Effort to Designate Liberty Memorial |
| Abstract | Short piece noting that Missouri U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill wants to make the Liberty Memorial the official National World War I Memorial. McCaskill and Missouri Senator Kit Bond filed a bill to so note, ensuring that the bid by a Texas congressman to establish a national World War I memorial in Washington fails. "The entire Missouri congressional delegation also is sponsoring legislation to make sure Kansas City is at the center of the centennial observation of World War I from 2014-18." |
