Interior Secretary Ken Salazar endorsed a plan Tuesday to remove a disputed inscription from the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, rather than cut into the granite to replace it with a fuller quotation.

Memorial sculptor Lei Yixin recommended removing the inscription this way to avoid harming the monument's structural integrity. More
