One pamphlet entitled, "Post-War Educational Opportunities For Service Personnel," dated October 27, 1943. This pamphlet transcribes a speech of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on educating veterans when World War II is over. He is entering into the record a report from the Armed Forces Committee on Post-War Educational Opportunities For Service Personnel. Roosevelt says, "Lack of money should not prevent any veteran of this war from equipping himself for the most useful employment for which his aptitudes and willingness qualify him." He also says, "We must replenish our supply of persons qualified to discharge the heavy responsibilities of the post-war world. We have taught our youth how to wage war; we must also teach them how to live useful and happy lives in freedom, justice, and decency." Following Roosevelt's speech the report of recommendations is printed.
