The vote was a defeat for the Administration and Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson, who wanted to cut farm giveaways...

To Director Milliken's delight, more money than was needed came rolling in. Closing the museum for eleven months, the trustees added a U-shaped wing in red and grey granite, enclosing a landscaped sculpture court and pool.
