Harry Truman

No comment. We sent a message which covered the whole situation.

It is the business of the President of the United States to carry out the mandates of Congress and that is the way this will be handled.

Yes. Certainly we are.

Any American citizen is entitled to his opinion. I am not expressing mine.

I'll stay at home. I'll be back and forth from the city all the time, just like I always am.

No. No comment. You know how those things go up and down, and a lot of people are disappointed in the results when they finally count them.

Those things have to be done very deliberately. I meant what I said when I said I would pursue the correspondence.

I hereby create a Board of Inquiry, consisting of such members as I shall appoint, to inquire into the issues involved in such disputes.

I haven't talked to the Secretary of Agriculture about it.

If conditions are favorable, I hope to arrive there on the 5th.

We are pledged in this country to support the United Nations and help make it work.

In the meantime, we've got to get ahead with the work the best way we can.

These young men are just like we were, they appreciate more than you will ever know what you people are doing.

We can well afford to pay the price of peace.

I am happy to come to this great city of Detroit and to join with you in celebrating its 250th birthday.

In this great American city, the ultimate power lies with the people.
