Eisenhower

I think it was valuable, and I certainly approve of that kind of thing.

Mr. Hagerty tells me we expect the designation to be made shortly.

My impression was they were not as concerned as some of the people that visit my office.

I am personally anxious that he get into some place where the benefit of his unusual experiences will redound to the benefit of all of us, all of the Army; and if he has got anything that the rest of us can profit from, I would like to see…

The best we can do, as I see it, is strive for that middle-of-the-road.

Well, of course I realize that is a natural question for you to ask.

You have seen the statement made that the cost of living has reached an all-time high, but let me show you what the actual fact is.

I have seen no man who is more anxious to get the welfare of every American—the consumer in the city, the user of grain, the producer of grain, the user of beef, the producer of beef—to get all of them in a fair position with respect to…

I am glad that he took a second look and was not permanently influenced by the kind of indoctrination that was undoubtedly given him.

I have always believed in the maximum of free enterprise.

The generality has been discussed with me, and I have approved it thoroughly, in spite of the fact that we are providing cheap grain in the drought areas.

There has got to be some forbearance, some wider view, on the part of all of us than mere immediate selfishness or, as the Communists claim, finally free government won’t be free government.

Now, I can’t comment further.

I didn’t say 'price supports of 100 percent.'

If friendship does not replace the hostilities of the world, if the conference table does not displace the battlefield as the place where we shall settle our disputes, then civilization as we know it indeed has a meager future.

The force for common good which we can found in this cooperation.

Our common purpose is the pursuit of a peace that is productive and lasting.

The man we salute today is the same--on whichever side of this border he lives.

The conquest of these problems is within the power of our united energy, skill, and determination.

You young people still own, let us say, 60 years of our country--far more than I do.

Now, here today, if you can establish one new link of friendship with our nearest neighbors, you have made progress toward a future that you can turn over to your children with pride and confidence.

Such works as this are created in the hearts of the citizens of two nations, citizens who respect and believe in one another.

I am proud of you for coming out today in spite of the heat and the inconvenience, and the impossibility of getting out there to visit with the President of Mexico, and to hear the bands.

I would like to give you some idea of how firmly I believe in the necessity of international friendship.

I speak for all the citizens of my own country here present when I express to you, Mr. President, our tremendous satisfaction that you have honored us with this personal visit.
