"Well, first of all, I don't know of any provision under the Constitution that you can submit a referendum to the American people."

"I wanted also to set up this special Secretary in the Department of Justice to give special attention to these matters, and I wanted to set up a commission, as you will recall."

"If someone would hear some of the conversations and discussions in conferences in my office there would be no doubt about my approval of the right to dissent."

"Now, the next step, if this thing got out of hand, would be governmental controls in time of peace, and I believe governmental controls in time of peace means the beginning of the end."
