About the Bible Quote Carving
Allen Dulles, the fifth and longest-serving Director of Central Intelligence, took a personal interest in the construction of the Original Headquarters Building (OHB). At the dedication ceremony for OHB, Dulles included a quotation in his speech: “And Ye Shall Know the Truth and the Truth Shall Make You Free” – John 8:32. Dulles insisted that the quotation be fixed in stone in the OHB Lobby.
The inscription reads: “And Ye Shall Know the Truth and the Truth Shall Make You Free – John 8:32.”
