Eisenhower: “The Civil Service Rules are hereby amended to read as follows:”

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.

Our unity as a nation is sustained by free communication of thought and by easy transportation of people and goods.

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

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