One of the more telling arguments came from Republican New York Congressman Gerald B. In 1995, a planned exhibition of the Enola Gay at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum was cancelled before ever opening due to pressures from congressional lobbyists, including the American Legion and the Air Force Association. The title of his talk was, “An Exhibit Denied: Lobbying the History of Enola Gay.” The speaker for the 2085th meeting was Martin Harwit, the former Director of the National Air and Space Museum. The Recording Secretary read the minutes of the 2084th meeting and they were approved. President-Elect Garavelli called the 2085th meeting to order at 8:26 p.m.
