Harry Truman

I had a very pleasant conversation with the Governor, and he came to make a report to me on his trip.

I understand that 'The Budget in Brief' is the best seller of the Government Printing Office now.

The Japanese treaty has been signed, and as soon as it is ready--

I can't answer your question.

You can quote it, as I have said it time and again.

He was relieved of duty because he was incompetent.

The Cabinet is as bipartisan as it is likely to be.

I also call upon the officials of the Federal, State, and local Governments, representatives of civic, educational, and religious organizations, and agencies of the press, radio, television, motion pictures, and other media of public…

I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, do hereby urge the citizens of this Nation to observe Wednesday, October 24, 1951, as United Nations Day.

In fact, no man ever has given his country more distinguished and patriotic service than have you.

The anniversary commemorates a landmark in the history of the human race, and its significance should be cherished in our hearts.

On behalf of our country I want to thank you for all you have done.

There is room enough for everybody.

On my own behalf, I want to tell you of my deep personal appreciation for the wise counsel and the unwavering support you have given me in these trying days.

Thank you very much for the cookbook.

THIS IS a wonderful celebration.

It is with very great reluctance that I accept your resignation as Secretary of Defense effective, in accordance with your wishes, on September twelfth.

I believe in operating the Government's finances on a sound basis.

The country is stronger economically than it has ever been before.

In the first place, most of the money is used to provide for the national security.

But the main point I want to make is that, although the Federal expenditures are very large, they are all made for purposes that are necessary to our national welfare; and our budget is as tight and solid as we can make it.

But I don't think anyone ought to take his complaints about the Government spending too seriously until he has gone to the trouble of finding out what it is all about.
