About Eisenhower's farewell address

The final public speech of Dwight D. Eisenhower as the 34th president of the United States was delivered in a television broadcast on January 17, 1961. Best known for advocating that the nation guard against the potential influence of the military–industrial complex, the speech also expressed concerns about planning for the future and the dangers of massive spending, especially deficit spending, the prospect of the domination of science through federal funding and, conversely, the domination of science-based public policy by what he called a "scientific-technological elite". Eisenhower played a significant role in the creation of this "elite" and its position of power, and thus there is an element of irony in his warning against it. This speech and Eisenhower's Chance for Peace speech have been called the "bookends" of his administration.
