"It seems to me that the decision about that would be this—that this is something that the United States Government ought to do."

"My position, as I suggested the other day, was fully set out in my message, wherein I stated that I thought the property that was to be benefited ought to bear some portion of the expense."

"I should expect that under any commission that might be set up or any agency that might be used for the prosecution of this work, that it would be done in a business way."

"I think it has already been announced that I appointed Colonel Latrobe to be my Aide."
