My view has not changed and applies with equal force to the present case.

I can perceive no justification for the payment which the bill would make on account of the cost of private medical and hospital care incurred on behalf of the decedent.

Furthermore, approval of H.R. 6529 would be discriminatory and precedential.

The bill does not identify the persons to whom it would open the doors of the district court.

I HAVE WITHHELD my approval from the bill (S. 2083) 'For the relief of Lawrence F. Kramer.'

I believe, therefore, that in fairness to Mrs. McQuilkin she is entitled to a day in court for decision of her claim on its merits.

Such a view is in no sense novel.

Enactment of the bill would constitute a gratuity and would create a dangerous precedent which might set in motion a chain of endless requests for the payment of damages by the Government arising out of accidents in which law enforcement…

I would be willing to approve a jurisdictional enactment waiving the bar of any statute of limitations.

I am satisfied that it is my duty to oppose this bill.

I am unable to perceive any circumstances which would warrant preferential treatment for the claimant to the detriment of other wartime contractors.

I HAVE WITHHELD my approval from S. 820, 'For the relief of the estate of Carlos M. Cochran'.

I HAVE WITHHELD my approval from H.R. 3516, 'For the relief of Anna K. McQuilkin.'

Under the circumstances, I think it only fair and reasonable to consider the generous, uniform, and assured protection which these systems afford as the exclusive remedy against the United States on account of the death of a member of the…

It is my opinion that judicial rather than legislative remedy should be sought.

My approval of this bill would establish the undesirable principle of Government underwriting any wartime losses incurred by contractors providing goods and services to the Government, regardless of the fact that such contractors did not…

I HAVE WITHHELD my approval from the bill (H.R. 9357)

Nothing is more dangerous to our cause than to expect America's message to be heard if we don't bother to tell it.

Our Nation is too strong to give way to hysterical fear which, under the guise of preserving our institutions, would undermine the principles upon which they rest.

The world must understand that there is stability in our international purposes.

In pursuance of this effort, we have loyally supported and worked with the United Nations, which, in its first 9 years, has accomplished much in the cause of peace.

Now, Therefore, I, Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the United States of America, do hereby invite the States of the Union and all countries of the free world to participate in the First International Instrument Congress to be held at…

I believe that questions of Federal tax immunity should be decided broadly and deliberately, rather than through a succession of piecemeal decisions and that this decision should await the recommendations of the Commission on…

This legislation is unnecessary for two reasons: First, the State now has authority to tax privately owned hotel or lodging facilities in the park and has collected such taxes for some time.

Legislation relating to groups of inspectional employees should seek to improve the overall pattern of premium compensation rather than to attempt to patch the existing uncoordinated pay structure.
