I would like to see one bill, which is so terrifically important to the United States, be handled specifically on its own merits and without the introduction of any other kind of matter.

I urge that the Congress give consideration to amendments that would enable this to be done.

Accordingly, I do not advise the enactment of additional legislation by the Congress with respect to those subjects.

Because the enactment of such legislation will substantially increase the postal deficit, I wish again to emphasize the imperative need for postal rates that will make the Postal Service self-supporting and be based on service rendered to the user.

It is my earnest hope and recommendation that the Congress will quickly consider and enact postal pay legislation that will be in the public interest and fair to all of the half million employees who man the Postal Service.

I earnestly urge, therefore, that appropriate legislation be enacted at this session of the Congress to permit revision of the 1946 Agreement in accordance with the recommendations contained in the Final Act.

The total of the amounts of the shares for the three daily meals shall not exceed the amount of the basic daily allowance for subsistence authorized by section 301 of the Career Compensation Act of 1949, as heretofore or hereafter amended.

I would use every bit of influence that I can properly and appropriately bring to bear to have it passed.

In approving this bill, I issued a statement expressing certain reservations with regard to its provisions.

I hope that the Congress will, at its next session, give further consideration to legislation to accomplish the purposes of H.R. 6839.

I urge the Congress to reject the narrow and selfish arguments of those who oppose the St. Lawrence project.

I strongly recommend, therefore, that the Congress promptly complete action on legislation to carry out the 1941 agreement for joint construction of the St. Lawrence seaway and power project.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 216 of the Public Health Service Act (58 Stat. 690)

I want to make it absolutely clear to the Congress what is at stake here.

The Democrats tried again and again in both the Senate and the House to get the bill through, but they were blocked at every turn of the road by the Republicans.

The legislation creating the National Science Foundation arose out of the experience in the last war that only by continued support of basic research can this nation maintain its leadership.

I hope, therefore, that the Senate will find it possible to give early and favorable consideration to this Protocol.

The Commission shall report to the President, in writing and within one year from the date of this order, the results of its studies and its recommendations under section 2 hereof, including any recommendations with respect to necessary legislation.
