Roosevelt's papers. They probably also proposed to argue the report's other conclusions point by point in an effort to either get them thrown out or at least reduced, as often happens in negotiations with...
...President Richard Nixon called him "a man of vision, constraint, consistency and enormous strength of character." Soviet Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev praised him as "an outstanding statesman who commanded great respect in the Soviet Union."

In his native France, boulevards and schools were already being named...
