I recommend that the Congress enact at the present session legislation directed toward five objectives.

The Virgin Islands Company is our greatest hope for the stabilization of the economy of St. Croix, and I sincerely hope the Congress is going to recharter it.

During 1947 nearly one million housing units were added to our housing supply.

The acute shortage of rental housing makes it imperative to continue emergency rent control.

I propose that we meet that challenge head on.

No, I cannot. The Treasury is using it for a storehouse now.

I feel just as I did at that time.

Every American has a right to do as he pleases in a political campaign.

They are both--I say they are both without foundation.

Every President has that.

The Constitution, containing the Bill of Rights, was the only document considered in the writing of that message.

I am going to keep telling Congress just what the situation is, and the Congress will have to act itself.

Certainly. I always have.

I haven't discussed it with anybody.

It seems to me that I heard a question like that last year, about what they were going to do to my budget.

I don't know enough about the situation, only just what I read in the papers.

I have no comment to make on that question.

We shall not, however, finally achieve the ideals for which this Nation was founded so long as any American suffers discrimination as a result of his race, or religion, or color, or the land of origin of his forefathers.
