Harry Truman actually said...

"I had hoped that conditions would permit you to continue longer in your present post of responsibility."

"Your contribution in devising means and furnishing provisions for the relief of hunger and want in countries devastated by the war has been of highest importance."

"Although I do so reluctantly and with deep regret, I acquiesce in your decision and accept, effective at the close of business this day, your resignation as Secretary of Agriculture."

"I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed"
