Harry Truman actually said...

"I am deeply concerned about the recent rise in farm real estate prices."

"I believe that the existing farm price situation presents a serious problem which should be given careful consideration by institutional lenders and others concerned."

"By virtue of the authority vested in me by sections 1 of the act of March 3, 1925, 43 Stat. 1212, it is hereby ordered as follows:"

"I may add that at this time it is not anticipated that it will be necessary or desirable to place restrictions on the expenditure of funds available for fiscal year 1948."
