The U. S. recognized that the best intelligence was
firsthand intelligence, like that gathered through
decrypted messages. Intercepted messages provided
information that was not colored by the spy who gathered
it. Having no success planting a spy in East Berlin, U. S.
intelligence was at a loss about how to penetrate the
Soviet sector of the city.

O Firsthand intelligence is more effective than
secondhand intelligence.
O It was not necessary to gather firsthand intelligence
from East Berlin.
Firsthand intelligence is intelligence taken from
decrypted, or decoded, messages.
O The US had not been able to plant a spy in East
Berlin to gain intelligence.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
