This is the greatest Nation on earth, I think.

Ordinarily the President of the United States has an emergency fund for such things as this, but last year that fund was eliminated, and it was not renewed again this year.

There are some people, you know, who do not like public power, and there are some people who do not like to expend money for the reclamation of the land in the West.

The President, you know, has to receive all the criticism that it's possible for a man to receive and still survive.

Thank you a lot for your appearance and for your welcome, and I appreciate it most highly, and I hope some time I can come back and talk politics to you.

It is a pleasure to see all of you.

Maybe we need a Congress next time that will have a little more confidence in the President.

I understand that you are not very happy over the Labor Act of 1947 as it is now in effect.

You need it too badly here in the Northwest to have it go out in the Pacific Ocean and go to waste.

That is partly your fault!

I used to be a Member of the Congress myself--I was a Member of the Congress myself.

Your only remedy is November 1948.

Thank you very much for that.

I know something about apples, too, as well as other farming matters.

I am the President of the United States, and I am sworn to enforce the laws that are on the books of the United States, and I shall follow the law.

They should stay there until they get those things done.

It seems to me that it has run pretty well for the last 3 years.

Economic growth and sound pricing ensure everyone's prosperity.
