Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

So again, as I bid you welcome, I also express this tremendous gratification that you are here for your Congress, this assembly.

Its purpose is to understand, if possible, the problems of every special group in this country, but never to use the resources of this count...

May your stay here be an enjoyable one, and may you find as much pleasure in our house as we did in yours.

I don't see why I have to take an extremist view on this thing.
