Harry Truman actually said...

"The gravity of the situation which confronts the world today necessitates my appearance before a joint session of the Congress."

"I do not believe that the American people and the Congress wish to turn a deaf ear to the appeal of the Greek Government."

"I feel that the whole problem should be carefully studied in all its phases by a group of citizens equipped by background and training to counsel the Government and assist it in formulating a program ..."

"I recommend the establishment of an 'Office of Selective Service Records.'"
