Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

"It has been truly said that the state of our economy is largely a national state of mind."

"Now that that gives every promise of coming about, I can't tell you how gratified I am, not just for myself, but for the entire American people."

"I am glad that the United States is able to assist in this humanitarian effort."

"The purpose of this offer is to assist the Government of Viet-Nam in developing and maintaining a strong, viable state, capable of resisting attempted subversion or aggression through military means."
