Farewell Address

Here is a link to both audio and text of President Truman's Farewell Address given a week before the inauguration of "Ike".

The Truman Doctrine

The Truman Doctrine was the foreign policy laid out by President Truman post WWII. It's policies were laid out before Congress on March 12, 1947, in what many consider Truman's most famous speech. It was geared toward anti-communist measures that involved great amounts of American military and economic aid to European countries in order to keep them free of Communist influence.
