Our forces saved the remnants of the Jewish people of Europe for a new life and a new hope in the reborn land of Israel. Along with all men of good will, I salute the young state and wish it well.

I deplore the need or the use of troops anywhere to get American citizens to obey the orders of constituted courts.

The supreme quality of leadership is integrity.

It is well for us to pause, to acknowledge our debt to those who paid so large a share of freedom's price.

I assure you that it is our desire and intention to keep the doors of consultation always and fully open. There must never be a final word between friends.

The libraries of America are and must ever remain the home of free and inquiring minds. To them, our citizens-of all ages and races, of all creeds and persuasions-must be able to turn with clear confidence that there they can freely seek the whole truth, unvarnished by fashion and uncompromised by expediency.

Plans are useless, but planning is essential.
