"It is no part of America's dream that we should erect a house of material well-being in the cheerless atmosphere of physical blight."

"It is encouraging to me, and I know it is to the Postmaster General and the Secretary of Defense, that the mail to and from Viet-Nam is moving rapidly."

"I am grateful for your personal observations that efforts to give the very best mail service to members of the Armed Forces in Vietnam are effective."

"I feel about that like I do most speculation."
