Eisenhower: “You have my best wishes for the success of your deliberations.”

We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.

I assure you that our obligation to you is deep and lasting.

We shall eventually have a world in which all men are brothers, and in which the outstretched hand is not that of a tyrant, but the hand of friendship.

I feel now it would be futile for me to attempt anything else in the way of words.
