I haven't reached a decision on that as yet.

No, I haven't reached a decision.

Consultation with me. That's the only part in which I was interested.

No statement.

I see no reason for it.

I will let you know as soon as I do.

It is a shortage but not a famine.

No, I don't think you can, because nobody can tell you exactly what date it will be.

I can't remember.

I direct, also, that on that day the flag of the United States be displayed on all Government buildings.

You can make that contribution on a world basis.

I do hereby designate Saturday, October 12, 1946, as Columbus Day.

I call upon officials of the Government to have the flag of the United States displayed on all Government buildings on that day

If there is no understanding, there can be no peace; and if there is no education, there can be no peace.

Thank you Mr. Benton.

It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace.

I invite the people of the United States to observe the day in appropriate ceremonies in schools and churches or other suitable places

I invite the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies expressive of the public sentiment befitting the anniversary of the discovery of America.
