Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"It is a very glorious thing for us to think of what has been accomplished in our own lifetime to cure epidemic diseases, to relieve human suffering and to save lives."

"Today the major fight of medicine and science is being directed against two other scourges, the toll of which is unthinkably great—cancer and infantile paralysis."

"We expect through scientific research, through epidemic first aid, through dissemination of knowledge of care and treatment, to help men and women and especially children in every part of the land."

"our national defense is, in the light of the increasing armaments of other Nations, inadequate for purposes of national security."
