Gettysburg Address to be shown at battlefield next summer
Congress negotiates a plan to display a draft of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address at Gettysburg National Military Park each June starting 1979, with return to Washington each August. The Library of Congress and National Park Service oversee display conditions, including armored transport, controlled lighting, and guards, amid debates over permanent relocation.
