Andrew Jackson actually said...

"Gentlemen of the House of Representatives:"

"I submit to the consideration of Congress a letter of the governor of Virginia, transmitting two acts of the general assembly of that State, respecting the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company."

"I herewith communicate a report from the Secretary of State, containing the desired information."

"I also respectfully recommend that the appropriation necessary to make a scientific examination of its capacities for defense may be granted."
