My decision should not be interpreted as establishing any new pattern or policy.
Dec 10, 1952
I do not. General MacArthur is in the Army, and on active duty, and if he has anything that is of use to the Defense Department, he ought to tell them so they can make use of it.

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