What is the title of this document?
Truman Doctrine Speech, March 12, 1947
"I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures. The United States must assist free people to work out their own destinies in their own way. In this way, we can help to avoid the spread of communism, which seeks to impose its will on others through force and oppression."
"The world has changed, and so have we. Our assistance must be directed toward those countries that need it most to help them preserve their independence. Our commitment is clear: we must stop the spread of communism wherever it threatens, and we must provide aid to those fighting against it."
