Reel 1

0:00   Harry S. Truman states that he recognized the new state of Israel on May 15, 1948 in spite of all the advice against it because he felt we were the conscience of the free world.
0:36   He states that he "was touched and grateful when they name a village for him" but he doesn’t want a statue. He jokes that he's not ready to be a piece of marble.
