In part: "....there exists a danger that our national security may be jeopardized and our economic welfare diminished through a lowered aircraft production and a failure of the aircraft industry to keep abreast of modern methods, with consequent retarding of the development of air transportation. There is an urgent need at this time for an evaluation of the course which the United States should follow in order to obtain, for itself and the world, the greatest possible benefits from aviation."

White House,, 1950. A striking portrait image of President Truman seated at his desk, inscribed in the mat below the image: "To my good friend & colleague Senator Lister Hill, with very kindest regards and appreciation of his patriotic public service. Harry Truman/ White House/ Jan.10,1950. Hill was a five time elected Senator from Alabama. As a U.S. Senator, Hill was known as a moderate. He distinguished himself in a number of fields, but was best-known for his landmark legislation in the field of public health. Perhaps the best-known legislation which bears his name is the Hospital and Health Center Construction Act of 1946, better known as the Hill-Burton Act, legistlation that Truman was pushing very hard. However, Lister Hill was as much a national figure as a representative of Alabama and the South.
