Mr. Vice President, I hope you will use this for the welfare of the Government of the United States.

I wish it were a fact that I was returning permanently to the scene of my former 'crimes and misdemeanors,' which have got me into more trouble than any man in the world has ever gotten into.

He certainly has.

I would advise you to read the history of 1941.

For an earlier statement on the railroad situation, see Item 33.

I had a very satisfactory telephone call this morning.

You will be down in Key West, Smitty. I will talk to you then.

No, I have no comment on that.

I will answer any questions you have got on your mind!

You never are, May, but go ahead.

Well, sir, I think I commented on that, through Mr. Short, that the amendment did not affect President Truman.

The general taxpayer has been giving large subsidies to certain users of the postal system.

Second-class mail should be brought gradually toward self-sufficiency in postal revenues.

I went up with the airborne people and wanted to jump out, and I almost got arrested by the major general because he said he would be court-martialed if I jumped out.

Postal employees should receive fair salaries.

It is a pleasure to me, as I said before, to see you young men who are so thoroughly and completely interested in the welfare of the Nation.

The taxpayers of this country are faced with an unavoidably large burden in financing our defense program.

It is unreasonable and unfair that they should also have to pay for postal costs which should be borne by those who receive the direct benefit of postal service.
