Herbert Hoover: “These expenditures cannot be recovered; they must be met by the taxpayer now or in the future.”

Executive Order No. 4610, approved March 10, 1927, as amended by Executive Order No. 4833, March 19, 1928, and by Executive Order No. 5001, November 23, 1928, is revoked effective July 1, 1932.

So much of the order of June 8, 1926, creating Reservoir-Site Reserve No. 17, as affects the lands hereinafter described is hereby revoked

One never makes a statement like that.

There is another phase of the bill as passed which is disheartening.
