In response to a press confer
e1tce question as to his thinking
on the Second-term decision, Mr..
Eisenhower said
We are not talking now about a
man who has been i'll and who has
had. let's say, a full year, to decide
what he can do in the next four
years.
nave been-I think it was yes
terday it was four months since
had this illness that started all this
type of questioning.
Now, I have to guess as to the
next five years, and the problem is
what will be the effect on the pres
idency, not on me, ana that is the
problem; and you can yourself,
without any long dissertation here,
just lay out all of the factors of the
energy, the intensity with which
you can attack your problems, the
zip and the zest that you can take
into conferences when you have to
get something done for the good of
the United States.
Now, this morning maybe I may
feel very zestful. but I do know that
I have had an attack.
Now, that is my problem. and /
hope I am not going to dillydally
too long about it.

QUESTION - Mr.. President. in
answering the last question about
your health, you seemed to be saying
if at any time you feel that your
health is not up to carrying the
burden of the Presidency, you will
withdraw from the race: is that
correct?
THE PRESIDENT - Well, now,
don't hold me down if 1 get weeks
case of the flu or something else.
You people get down to the point
that you are worse than the doctors
in quizzing me. But I am talking
about my general. let's say. organic
fitness for the job. as 1 see it, and
that means carrying a burden of
hard work right on through the
year and through the months.
Now, any time that believe
that has failed to the point of in
ability to perform the job prop
erly, then that goes before the
American people instantly.

satisfactory. My future life must
be carefully regulated to avoid ex-
cessive fatigue. My reasons for
obedience to the medical authorities
are not solely personal; I must obey

The personal decision to which

is firmly fixed in my own mind. I
shall strive to see that it is based as
to my best judgment on the good
