"Those casualties were required from us in order to support our security in the world and to stand firmly behind the cause of freedom."

"However, as you people well know, I don't think that any of you ought to interpret anything I say in terms of a threat of any kind."

"I most earnestly hope that the Congress will support this particular part of the bill to the full."

"I signed this with really the prayerful hope that we may be able, with that amount, to sustain the essential interests of the United States in the free world."
