Harry Truman actually said...

"I do question the propriety and wisdom of giving Committees veto power over executive functions authorized by the Congress to be carried out by executive agencies."

"We can lift our total annual output from the current level of about 340 billion dollars to nearly 100 billion dollars higher--in real terms."

"I do not dispute the right of the Congress and its Committees to take an interest in real estate transactions made by the Executive Branch of the Government."

"I hope that the Congress will, at its next session, give further consideration to legislation to accomplish the purposes of H.R. 6839."
