Herbert Hoover actually said...

"Our adherence to the International Court is, as now constituted, not the slightest step toward entry into the League of Nations."

"Our thoughts include also appreciation of your companions in flight and your colleagues, whose careful and devoted preparation has contributed to your great success."

"I know that I speak for the American people when I express their universal pleasure at your successful flight over the South Pole."

"We are glad of proof that the spirit of great adventure still lives."
