"By wise planning and determined action we can meet our essential needs for military security, civilian welfare, and the continued economic growth of the United States."

"This is one of the crucial problems facing the nation."

"We cannot allow shortages of materials to jeopardize our national security nor to become a bottleneck to our economic expansion."

"I am very pleased that you have agreed to serve as the Chairman of the President's Materials Policy Commission."
