Almost Over

On this trip, President Truman traveled 30,000 miles, and made 201 stops to speak.

"I have had a most pleasant trip across the United States and back. In every city people have turned out, just as you have here, in order to see the President and to hear the President, and understand his viewpoint. That is my errand across the nation. A nd if it is getting results, I am extremely happy. And I think it is getting results. I should be back in Washington this morning about 12:30, and then I shall have to go to work as usual."

Next Stops: Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, and New York
