Harry Truman

The state of the Union is good.

This progress has confounded the gloomy prophets.

In a nation as rich as ours, it is a shocking fact that tens of millions lack adequate medical care.

These Federal policies have paid for themselves many times over.

Our production is still not large enough to satisfy our demands.

The Government must see that every American has a chance to obtain his fair share of our increasing abundance.

Our goals should be abundant farm production and parity income for agriculture.

We cannot maintain prosperity unless we have a fair distribution of opportunity.

In this society, we are conservative about the values and principles which we cherish.

I am happy to report to this 81st Congress that the state of the Union is good.

The business cycle is man-made.

In the light of this action by the General Assembly, and taking into account the facts set forth in the statement issued by this Government on August 12, 1948, concerning the new Korean Government, the United States Government has decided…

I think I made both statements, and they are both correct.

Well, television was, I think, very important where it was in use.

Mr. Lovett made the proper statement on the matter.

That is not in my bailiwick.

Well, the Message on the State of the Union will cover the waterfront.

I hereby designate such organizations as public international organizations entitled to enjoy the privileges, exemptions, and immunities conferred by the said International Organizations Immunities Act.

Isn't it remarkable the extent to which speculation can go!

It was in the nature of a courtesy call.

This order shall not become effective to change the status of the land until 10:00 a.m. on the thirty-fifth day after the date of this order.

They will come in to see me tomorrow, and I will discuss everything on the waterfront with them.

It cannot be clarified.

This order supplements Executive Orders 9698 of February 19, 1946, 9751 of July 11, 1946, 9823 of January 24, 1947, 9863 of May 31, 1947, 9887 of August 22, 1947, 9911 of December 19, 1947, and 9972 of June 25, 1948.

I have no special announcements to make today.
