"I am very indebted to you for this attractive silver bowl and I shall remember this occasion with a great deal of pleasure."

"And in appreciation for what you have done, and with the personal thanks for the support that you have given to both President Kennedy and to me, it gives me a great deal of personal pleasure in award..."

"America wins the wars that she undertakes."

"At this time I want you to be absolutely certain that there is no waste or misapplication of America's manpower in the Department of Defense."
