Dear Mr. Andrews:
I cannot leave the office of the Presidency
without expressing to you my appreciation of the wise
and vigorous leadership you have given and are giving to
the Point IV Program. You took on this assignment, at
my request, at a most difficult and tragic time.
Point IV is primarily a program of people work-
ing together to enhance human well-being and dignity.
Success in this cooperative enterprise depends upon the
quality of its leadership as well as on a deeply-rooted
understanding of the needs and capacities of simple people.
We cannot expect others to respect us unless we honestly
and deeply respect them. We cannot expect others to have
confidence in us, unless we feel and show confidence in
them.
These qualities of character you have brought
to the leadership of the Point IV Program. You have
thereby earned the gratitude of the American people and
indeed of all who are working with us for economic and
social progress.
BRAY
I

Sincerely yours,
GOVERNIA
HARRY S. TRUMAN
