When the mistake was discovered, the high-priced executives, economists, public-relations counselors, lawyers, et al. put on their Homburgs, gathered up their brief cases, and marched, 100 strong, to the Smithsonian Institution.

They had tea in the White House with Eleanor Roosevelt before she went off to Puerto Rico.
