IMENTATI i LEASE
JUNE 9, 1948
Rear platform remarks of the President,
Skykomish, Washington, June 9, 1948, 6:45 p.m.,
Skykomish time.
It is a pleasure to see all of you. I was sound
asleep and I got up just to come out and say "Howdy" to you.
I am glad to have as guests on this train today the
Governor and his First Lady. I would be willing to make you
a bet that Mrs. Wallgren has not been introduced to you, is
that true? No. I caught him on that a while ago, and I guess
he caught up with me.
I have had a very, very fine time in this great State
today, seeing a number of things I have always wanted to see.
NARA
I have had a very pleasant visit with your Governor, and
3
Senator Pagnuson, and I think that the welcome I have received
in this State has never been exceeded anywhere.
I hope some time, in the not far distant future,
I can come back and discuss with you all the issues that face
the country; and then I hope that later on I may be able to
implement those issues from my viewpoint.
Thank you very much.
