I sincerely hope that you will be able to undertake this direct liaison responsibility.

There is a tremendous responsibility here--in some ways, I think, transcending that that is placed before the publisher.

I think you are on a job that needs to be done, and I know you will do it well.

The ultimate responsibility is mine in any event.

The power of the Government of the United States is in the people, and when you don't exercise that franchise which the Constitution guarantees you, and you get bad government, you have nobody but yourselves to blame for it.

It is a responsibility which we will have to assume.

We are placing our faith in the capacity of responsible parties to help work out solutions to their problems in the national interest.

The heaviest burdens, the hardest part of the job lie ahead.

It is my purpose to cooperate with your Subcommittee to the greatest extent possible, bearing in mind at all times my responsibility to take care that the investigative activities and efficiency of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other investigative agencies remain unimpaired.

The elimination of overlapping and the simplification of relationships which will result from the transfer will make it possible to administer grants and loans more expeditiously and at lower costs per project than can be done under the present division of responsibility.

They simply place on him the additional responsibilities for the operations of the staff.

Moreover, by reducing the likelihood that the two programs involved will be administered at cross-purposes or in conflict with each other, it can be expected that the money expended will achieve greater benefits than would be likely under the present distribution of responsibility.

I am sorry that they recommitted it.

It is our responsibility to see that these young men receive the same sort of treatment as they would have received had they stayed at home.

The Commission has stated--and I believe quite correctly--that the basic requirement for achieving effective management in government is to grant to the men upon whom responsibility is placed by the Constitution and the statutes an adequate measure of authority and flexibility to perform their jobs.

I had hoped that conditions would permit you to continue longer in your present post of responsibility.

We are accountable to them- and accountable to the generations yet unborn for whom they gave their lives.

I will use my powers with a full sense of my responsibility to the Constitution and to my country.
