Harry Truman: “A better system of property and records management has been needed by the Federal Government for many years.”

Without multiple-purpose river basin development, I believe that few of these accomplishments would have been possible.

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.

I feel it is necessary for me to exercise the final authority in the coal case.

They should be strong enough to see that unified multiple-purpose development is planned for, and works operated harmoniously in each basin-wide comprehensive system.
