Harry Truman: “The Civil Rights Committee did more than repeat these great principles.”

There is hereby established a medal to be known as the National Security Medal with accompanying ribbons and appurtenances.

We have learned that the mark of a well-managed land lies in the care a Nation gives to its rivers.

I am glad that the Bill of Rights is at last to be exhibited side by side with the Constitution.

I have great faith and confidence in our civil servants.
