Harry Truman actually said...

"I am sure that action will result from this conference--the same kind of action we have been getting from highway safety and fire prevention conferences."

"We stand today at the threshold of accomplishment."

"You are meeting in the interest of one of the highest purposes of mankind--to save human lives."

"The role of the Federal Government, as I see it, is primarily to stimulate cooperation for safety and to encourage the use of the best methods and standards."
