President Eisenhower
1961 - "In the counsels of Government, we must guard
against the acquisition of unwarranted influence,
whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial
Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of
misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never
let the weight of this combination endanger our
liberties or democratic processes. We should take
nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable
citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge
industrial and military machinery of defense with our
peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty
may prosper together." |
