I wanted also to set up this special Secretary in the Department of Justice to give special attention to these matters, and I wanted to set up a commission, as you will recall.

Well, I understand the Secretary of State commented at some length on this matter yesterday.

The United States stands firmly by the agreements and the offers it has made in this regard, and we have not withdrawn from that position.

I think it will find out for you.

Generally speaking, though, I would say read Mr. Dulles' reaction to this, which I agree with.

If someone would hear some of the conversations and discussions in conferences in my office there would be no doubt about my approval of the right to dissent.

Now, the next step, if this thing got out of hand, would be governmental controls in time of peace, and I believe governmental controls in time of peace means the beginning of the end.

I really believe that all of us should get in to find those places we can save money, not only in eliminating some of the functions for which we are now compelled to make estimates, but to find out whether we can't do some of them cheaper.

I would say this. Naturally, I am not a lawyer and I don't participate in drawing up the exact language of proposals.

I would think so, yes.

Part of it is accounted for by rises in food prices; and I said, after all, we have now policies to try to raise these prices, at least as far as the farmer is concerned.

I do stand firmly upon the idea I advanced, which is that Government alone cannot keep a stable economy; the Government alone cannot preserve a sound dollar.

From my viewpoint--maybe it's a simple and naive one--I think he ought to serve out his term.

I think we would be glad to ask any nation there to put its proper instruments in the air to detect whether or not their contention is true.

This order shall not operate to amend, supersede, or terminate any rates or tariffs of fees, designations, or adaptations prescribed or made under authority of the said section 1745 and in force immediately prior to the issuance of this…

This whole business of disarmament has to proceed along in steps, and sometimes very tiny steps, until you can see what the next one must be; and I don't know exactly what the next one must be.

I would say this: I would hope that they would learn how to use clean bombs, and if they ever used any atomic bombs would use clean ones--for the simple reason that then at least the bombs used would be specific weapons instead of weapons…

I do regard this deliberate exposure of a governmental secret that is not an administrative secret, but involves the security of our country, most seriously.

I believe that any time we begin to think of war as an inescapable event of some future time, that we have become completely pessimistic on the future of humanity.

Each of us has very great trouble understanding, but even so, I think we should not forget this: the Supreme Court is just as essential to our system of government as is the President or the Congress.

We have made an offer of a cessation of tests as an integral part of what we call a general first step toward disarmament.

I think the civil rights program is eminently reasonable and moderate.

To talk in the generalities in which they were speaking is not, in itself, a proposal.

Well, only in this way: first of all, there are no definite plans for reductions anywhere else; but, as you know, for many months the military services have been working on redesigning of military organization to take advantage of the…
