"I have always believed that to be the hardest, but the highest, decision that any man is ever called upon to make."

"I realize, too, how highly we prize freedom-when we send our young to die for it."

"I want 'Cost Reduction Notes' to be read widely in every agency, both in Washington and in the field."

"I want the best ideas publicized for all to use."
