04:40:36  Secretary Forrestal:  What you have seen is your navy, & you can well be proud of it.  It has cost heavily in time, and work, and money.  It will cost a lot more.  We have spent already about 70 billion dollars upon our navy and we have the authority of Congress to spend 50 billion more, if we need it.  The power that we now have has taken about 4 years in the building.  It has been a good investment because our material superiority has saved, and is saving the lives, of our men who are paying the real price of this war, the men who fight.  There is no way of measuring the value of an American life in dollars & cents but I dont believe any one of you would withhold the loan of the price of a new motor car, for example, if you though that  it would save the life of a single American.  The End.  6th War Loan.
