Harry Truman

I have been in every county in this part of the State of Arkansas, and every county in southern Missouri.

From the standpoint of the national interest of the United States, this procedure is only second-best--and a poor second-best at that--to the procedure which has been awaiting Congressional approval for so many years.

The cost of both the seaway and power phases of the project will be repaid, with interest.

This procedure for building the St. Lawrence project is entirely feasible.

Certain local and special interests in our country who fancy they would be adversely affected, have until now succeeded in blocking Congressional approval of United States participation in this project.

I strongly recommend, therefore, that the Congress promptly complete action on legislation to carry out the 1941 agreement for joint construction of the St. Lawrence seaway and power project.

I hereby amend Executive Order No. 10349 of April 26, 1952

I think that is long enough for a man to serve his country.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 426(c) of the Officer Personnel Act of 1947, as amended (Public Law 67, 82nd Congress), it is hereby ordered as follows:

We just can't afford to let it happen.

I extend to your Commission and its staff my thanks and congratulations for the public service you have rendered.

I do not believe there has ever been attempted before such a broad and farsighted appraisal of the material needs and resources of the United States in relation to the needs and resources of the whole free world.
