This order shall be effective as of July 1, 1951.

In all of these things, we must move quickly. Every day counts.

Bit by bit in recent years we have carried out a policy, agreed upon with our allies, of building up a freely elected German government, and returning to the German people an increasing degree of control over their affairs.

I sincerely hope they will give us a workable controls bill along the lines of the message which I sent them on the subject.

It is my earnest hope that in the days ahead, the Congress will review with care the consequences of enacting a weak measure and will come forward with the strong legislation we need so badly.

Everything that Mr. Wilson says in this report emphasizes the tremendous importance of obtaining good, strong control legislation to see us through this crucial period, while we are building our defensive strength.

This order shall become effective on July 1, 1951.

I have the matter under consideration.

Of course we have been doing that right along.

The matter is being worked on every day.

This order shall become effective at the close of business in Washington, D.C., on June 29, 1951, and shall at that time supersede all prior Executive orders to the extent that they are in conflict with this order.

The Federal Government, as the largest single employer in the country, should set the example in accomplishing this objective.

This manpower conservation program should be given top priority throughout the executive branch.

I have it under consideration.

I think if you will read the Executive order I signed this morning you will find out what my views are.

An itemization of these reductions in advance of actual experience under this plan is not practicable.

At the same time, we should continue the present policy of granting the landlord all justifiable increases in rent.

The policy of orderly decontrol has resulted in a steady reduction of the number of units under control.
