I am sending you a copy of a letter, together with certain documents, which I recently received from Mr. Henry A. Wallace.
Harry Truman
The Public Record
Harry S. Truman was the 33rd President of the United States, serving from April 12, 1945, to January 20, 1953. A member of the Democratic Party, he assumed the presidency after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Truman is known for his decisive leadership during the final months of World War II, including the controversial decision to use atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which contributed to Japan's surrender. He also played a significant role in the early stages of the Cold War, implementing the Truman Doctrine to contain communism and establishing NATO.

These papers deal with certain matters which may be of interest to the Senate and its Committees.

I am very appreciative of your thoughtfulness in giving me this plaque.
Sep 20, 1951
I appreciate it, and I hope I deserve it--and I hope I will continue to deserve it.

My impression is that he did not. And I have got his word for it. And I believe it.
Sep 19, 1951
No comment. You will be informed in plenty of time what my program will be for next year. But I am not ready to tell you now.
Sep 19, 1951
No. I have no comment. I appointed those judges, and I am the appointive power.

Without new revenue legislation, the deficit for the year will be in the neighborhood of 10 billion dollars.
Sep 19, 1951
I will give you that in the Democratic platform, when we go to write it.
Sep 19, 1951
There is a possibility, a stronger possibility than ever, I think, if we stick to our knitting and go ahead with the defense program.
Sep 19, 1951
I don't think any person who is connected with the Democratic National Committee, be he a volunteer or otherwise, has any business taking fees from anybody for what he does for them as a member of the national committee.
Sep 19, 1951
Now, I don't feel like commenting on the operations of the committee until they get through. Then I will give you all the comments you want.
Sep 19, 1951
The Government's revenues should be increased by an amount that approaches as nearly as possible the 10 billion dollars I recommended.
Sep 19, 1951
They were requested by the opposition, and we are willing to put forth every effort possible to get a peaceful solution without killing any more people.
Sep 19, 1951
That's a question I can't answer. We will have to wait for results to find out whether that is true or not.
Sep 19, 1951
A strong revenue system is as vital to the defense of this country as strong military forces.
