"Where constitutional rights are concerned, the country can ask no more-and accept no less--than uncompromising devotion to the Constitution itself."

"The creation and maintenance of a strong and competitive fleet to meet these demands is a complex task requiring the best efforts of government, management, and labor."

"In war and peace merchant ships and merchant seamen have served us well."

"International commerce and the ships which make it possible have contributed immeasurably to America's greatness."
