the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by
the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise
of misplaced power exists and will persist."

endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing
for granted only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper
meshing of huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful
methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
