Harry Truman

That's just one of those wild rumors. I have no comment.

I am very happy to hear that, of course.

I have an idea that the Secretary of State will be there on occasion, if it is necessary.

Within the last 2 or 3 days.

No, that decision has not been made yet. It will be announced as soon as it is made.

Well, it has happened very suddenly and unexpectedly, and I will have to take the matter under consideration and give you an announcement on that later.

Now, Bob, I don't want you to be putting words in my mouth.

I expressed my opinion of that at the last press conference. I don't like it.

From the railroad unions, and the railroad managers--both.

Yes. I had definite assurance that there would not be.

Charlie says that the railroad men and management have made temporary adjournment, but they have been communicating with each other every day.

The relations with Mexico have always been on a very satisfactory basis.

Oh, we can't talk about that until it gets here.

What he said is exactly correct and covers the situation completely.

In view of the rising cost of the defense program now contemplated, I am concerned about these increases in the highway program.

I am hopeful that there will be a settlement.

I am very much interested in the bipartisan foreign policy, and I hope it will continue in effect and very effectively as it has in the past.

It is one of our friendliest neighbors--always has been.

I haven't received the telegrams.

This order shall become effective on September 1, 1950.

I think that is a contemptible statement and beneath comment.

I will make that decision when it comes before me, as always.

Finally, the $25 million provided in the bill for access roads to military establishments, seems excessive at this time.

I have canceled all speaking dates.

Well, the situation with respect to UMT has been very capably covered by Charlie, and I don't want to get into that controversial matter.
