Harry Truman actually said...

"The salaries of members of Congress should be increased to a level more in line with the job they are called upon to do."

"They must review the administration of the law in order to determine whether the policies and the statutes should be changed."

"No business concern or private organization would even attempt to hire top-flight executives or advisors at the level of salaries which presently prevails in the American Congress."

"They must establish the policies that will advance the welfare of our people."
