More from Harry Truman
The longer I live, the more I am impressed by the significance of our simple official oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
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 belongs to no one group of people and to no single branch of the Government.
