Eisenhower on Adams

Here is the tert of President EtsenhoDer'S state
nent on Sherman Adams at his neDs conference
today:
The intense publicity lately surrounding the name
of Sherman Adams makes it desirable, even necessary
that start this conference with expression Of my
own views about the matter.
First, a result of this entire incident all of us
should have been made aware of one truth. That is
that gift is not necessarily bride. One evil the
other is a tangible expression Of friendship.
Almost without exception everybody seeking public
Office accepts political contributions These gifts
to further his political Yet do not make
generality that these gifts intended to color the
later official votes recommendations and actions of the
recipients. In the general this whole activity is
understood, accepted and approved.
The circumstances surrounding the innocent receipt
by public official of any gift therefore important
so that the public may clearly distinguish between
innocent and guilty action. Among these circumstances
the character and reputation of the individual the
record Of his subsequent actions and evidence Of intent
or lack of intent to exert undue influence.
Any one who knows Sherman Adams has never had
any doubt of his personal integrity and honesty no
one believed that he could be bought But there is
feeling belief that he not sufficiently alert in
making certain that the gifts, of which he the
recipient could be misnterpreed to be considered
attempts to influence his official actions. To that
extent he has been he stated yesterday imprudent
The utmost prudence must necessarily be observed
by everyone attached to the White House because Of
the possible effect OF any slightest inquiry suggestion
observation emanatng from this office and reaching
any other part of the Government Careessness must
be avoided.
My own conclusions on the entire episode are as
follows:
l. I believe that the presentation made by Gov.
Adams to the congressional committee yesterday truth
fully represents the pertinent facts.
2. personally like Gov. Adams
3. admire his abilities.
4. respect him because of his personal and official
integrity.
5. l need him.
Admitting the lack of that careful prudence in this
incident that Gov Adams yesterday referred to,
believe with my whole heart that he is invaluable
public servant doing difcult Job efficiently, honestly
and tirelessly
Ladies and gentlemen, so far as am concerned,
this is all that can, all that shall say.
