You're welcome. Below is a partial match that was spoken by Truman
during a news conference in 1957 and reported widely via the
Associated Press.

[ref] 1957 February 13, Daily Capital Journal, Strong Defense More
Important Than Balanced Budget-Truman by Mercer Bailey (Associated
Press), Quote Page 2, Column 7, Salem, Oregon. (Newspapers_com)[/ref]

[Begin excerpt]
Earlier, at a brief news conference, Truman described President
Eisenhower's domestic policy as "the usual Republican line of helping
those who don't need help and letting the rest of us take care of
ourselves as best we can."
