“The United States is pre-eminent among nations in
the development of industrial and scientific techniques.
The material resources which we can afford to use
for the assistance of other peoples are limited. But our
imponderable resources in technical knowledge are
constantly growing and are inexhaustible. I believe
that we should make available to peace-loving people
the benefits of our store of technical knowledge in order
to help them realize their aspirations for a better life…”
President Harry S. Truman Inaugural Speech, January 1949
