Herbert Hoover actually said...

"But our first duty as a nation is to put our governmental house in order--national, State, and local."

"The developments of the past week should give great assurances to the country."

"I shall welcome any further reduction which can be made and still preserve the proper and just functioning of the Federal Government."

"Rigid economy is a real road to relief to homeowners, farmers, workers, and every element of our population."
