“So it is with great enthusiasm and pride that I take this opportunity to recognize the Grand Rededication of the Harry S Truman Presidential Museum and Library on December 9, 2001. This weekend, the Truman Museum and Library will open a remarkable new permanent exhibit, ``Harry S Truman: The Presidential Years.'' This compelling installation provides current and future generations with an interactive experience that allows them to fully immerse themselves in the Truman Presidency. Visitors will feel the pressure on Truman and his administration during the formative post-World War II years as President Truman and his advisors debated crucial decisions, such as use of the atomic bomb and recognition of the state of Israel. Those decisions continue to shape the world we now live in. This exhibit comes after the addition of the new White House Decision Center, which opened in October. The White House Decision Center is a replica of the West Wing and provides students with the opportunity to take on the role of President Truman or of his advisors during the Truman Presidency.”
