Eisenhower: “I think that the whole record of both the 83d and 84th Congresses in this respect has been commendable.”

For over six decades we have worked together to create and maintain strong democratic institutions.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

Our unity as a nation is sustained by free communication of thought and by easy transportation of people and goods.

My heart will always be filled with admiration for you.
