Will Englund's article "How Would Obama Govern" references our current
special exhibit, "Action and Action Now" FDR's First Hundred Days.
Because the exhibit has proved so popular and timely, we have decided
to continue its run through the end of 2009. Mr. Englund's thoughtful
analysis of the relevancy of the early years of the Roosevelt presidency
to present conditions is exactly the sort of history lesson Roosevelt
intended when he dedicated his presidential library with the words, "a
nation . . . must, above all, believe in the capacity of its people so
to learn from that past that they can gain in judgement for the creation
of the future." I hope many more will visit us in Hyde Park and take
advantage of the entended run of "Action and Action Now," our First
Hundred Days exhibit.

Sincerely,

Cynthia M. Koch, Ph.D.
Director
Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library & Museum
