Harry Truman: “We must keep it just what it is--a government of all the people, and for all the people.”

I am happy to join with you in the recognition of the 70th Anniversary of the establishment of the Federal Civil Service merit system.

The Constitution is a living force--it is a growing thing.

We have discovered that the Constitution does not prevent us from correcting social injustice, or advancing the general welfare.

I have great faith and confidence in our civil servants.
