Harry Truman actually said...

So it is as necessary for you to assist the Government as represented by your President, and Congress and the Governors and the State legislators to maintain that Government, and see that it maintains the solvency that is necessary for its continuance, as it is for me as President to try to maintain it now in this troubled world.
