Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"During the World War the United States Government insured, at an exceedingly low premium rate, nearly 5,000,000 members of the armed forces of the country against death or total permanent disability."

"Many veterans do not seem to have had knowledge of this continuing privilege, and for one reason or another have permitted their war risk insurance to lapse."

"The policy of this Government to favor measures which hold out practical hopes for the limitation of armament is firmly established."

"I recommend the appropriation of the sum of $50,000 to cover the expenses of American participation in the work of the 'Preparatory Commission for the Disarmament Conference.'"
