Harry Truman: “I consider such a program vital to the national welfare.”

There is hereby established a medal to be known as the National Security Medal with accompanying ribbons and appurtenances.

I am glad that the Bill of Rights is at last to be exhibited side by side with the Constitution.

The decoration established by this order shall be awarded by the President of the United States or, under regulations approved by him, by such person or persons as he may designate.

Of course I would. I wouldn't be discourteous to anybody. I never have been.
