Harry Truman actually said...

"We are building our military strength in the way best calculated to meet the military threat that confronts us."

"This budget estimate represents, therefore, but one of the parts of our national security program."

"The major expansion in our defense expenditures is one part of our total program to enable us and the other free nations to save the world from another and more frightful global war."

"This military budget is essential to our national security."
