Harry Truman: “I get a report from the Economic Advisers--who are there for that purpose--every week.”

I made a 14,400-mile trip to get a lot of misinformation.

The course of action you recommend has my approval.

It was suggested, and I decided that it wouldn't serve any good purpose, it would be just a piece of demagoguery; and that is what it turned out to be.

It would have involved us in all-out war in the Far East, and we have been strenuously trying to avoid that all the time.
