In no sense did I feel that anything unusual had happened to me.

Apparently it was too bad, but it happened!

I hope you will forgive us if we leave you immediately.

My warmest thanks go to you for this renewed evidence of the firmness of the foundation on which our democracy rests.

My dear Governor Dewey: I deeply appreciate your message of congratulations.

I expect each department and agency head to consider this a major part of his responsibility.

I have already recommended to the Congress two measures which will help us obtain better government.

Throughout my administration I have taken action to effect improvements in the organization and operation of the Government.

It is my firm intention to continue to require, throughout the Executive Branch, the highest degree of attention to this need for improved management.

I fully agree with the Commission on the necessity of reviving the reorganization plan procedure, which became inoperative on April 1, 1948.

In my recent messages to the Congress I have presented the program which I believe this Government should follow in the months ahead.

The proper execution of the laws demands a simple, workable method of making organizational adjustments.

I have no set view on the subject.

No, there will not.

I prefer to let the House and the Senate settle their differences without my interference.

I have no statement to make on the conversation with the British Ambassador.

Mr. Forrestal's remarks say just what they mean.

I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Frank Graham.
