Emergency aid is no substitute for a long-range recovery program, but it is a vital prerequisite to such a program.

Our people know that our influence in the world gives us an opportunity--unmatched in history--to conduct ourselves in such a manner that men and women of all the world can move out of the shadows of fear and war and into the light of freedom and peace.

The housewife who goes to buy food today must spend $10 to buy what $7 bought a year and a half ago.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, it is ordered, in the interest of the internal management of the Government, that paragraph 8 of Executive Order No. 9635 of September 29, 1945, prescribing the order of succession of the officers authorized to act as Secretary of the Navy, be, and it hereby is, amended to read:

I haven't given it any consideration.

I have one announcement to make.

I would like to go, but I can make no firm appointments now, because of this special session coming on next Monday.

Not immediately, no.

No I am not. Whenever we are ready I will make that announcement.
