Later Years

In his farewell address as president, Eisenhower warned against the influence of the growing “military-industrial complex.” After leaving the White House, he remained generally aloof from politics, although he did occasionally comment on national issues and campaign for Republican candidates. In 1962 the Eisenhower presidential library was dedicated at Abilene, Kans.
