Harry Truman actually said...

"I certainly have enjoyed the visit to Oregon, except for the fact that I had to go out this morning and look at those flooded areas north of the town."

"Now, Therefore, be it known that I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, do proclaim:"

"I have only one ambition, and that is to get a peace in the world that will be lasting, that will work, and that will keep this country prosperous for generations to come."

"There is not any reason in the world why these plans should not be carried out, and if we can get the cooperation of every branch of the Federal Government, we can get that done."
