Harry Truman actually said...

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

If we falter in our leadership, we may endanger the peace of the world--and we shall surely endanger the welfare of this Nation.

The free peoples of the world look to us for support in maintaining their freedoms.

No other nation is willing and able to provide the necessary support for a democratic Greek government.
