The first time, I had two things to do-run the country and survive; I had all these crooked guys. And the second time, I run the country and the world.

I've spent my entire life and business looking at the untapped potential in projects and in people all over the world. That is now what I want to do for our country.

I loved my previous life. I had so many things going. This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.

I have been occupying a position, since the Presidential election, of silence, of avoiding public speaking, of avoiding public writing. I have been doing so because I thought, upon full consideration, that was the proper course for me to take.

Some day there is going to be a man sitting in my present chair who has not been raised in the military services and who will have little understanding of where slashes in their estimates can be made with little or no damage. If that should happen while we still have the state of tension that now exists in the world, I shudder to think of what could happen in this country.

Our readiness to meet and defeat this kind of possible attack is forced upon us, both as a potent preventive of actual war and to insure survival in event of attack. This alertness to danger has to be translated into specific policies and activities in the several parts of the world where our rights - our way of life - can be seriously damaged. Work of this kind occupies my days and nights.
