By virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me by Title II of the Second War Powers Act, 1942, approved March 27, 1942.
In May, we produced nearly 4,000 planes and over 1,500 tanks.
We need more and more, and we will make more and more.
We are well on our way toward achieving the rate of production which will bring us to our goals.
