MISSOURI TO THE JOINT SESSION OF THE
MISSOURI STATE LEGISLATURE, MARCH 22, 1939
AT 11 A.M.
FOR RELEASE ON DELIVERY.
THE HONORABLE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI:
You can hardly estimate my feelings when I re-
ceived a copy of your resolution asking me to address
a joint session of the Legislature of this great
State. I consider it a very high honor and I haven' t
the words to adequately express my appreciation.
You, of course, are interested in the Congress of the
United States, just as I am interested in this honor-
able body, and I am sure you have asked me here to
discuss some of the things that are of national inter-
est. I shall endeavor to give you my views on some
of the issues now pending in the Congress.
Missouri honored me in 1934 by electing me as
one of its two United States Senators. I consider
that honor a great responsibility, and I have to the
very best of my ability worked exceedingly hard to
meet that responsibility.
I had had no legislative experience and only
TRUMAN
