Harry Truman actually said...

Mr. Hoover's devotion to duty and outstanding administrative ability have contributed greatly to the welfare and defense of the Nation.

Mr. Pelley has been an unfailing source of wise counsel and advice to the military establishment on all phases of railroad transportation.

His ability, his industry and his untiring devotion to duty were of incalculable benefit to the war effort of the Nation.

To raise that standard should be, and is, the constant aim of your Government and the underlying basis of its policies.
