I wish to congratulate the management on the consummation of its plan for the magnificent new home perpetuating the Waldorf-Astoria.
Our hotels have become community institutions.
The opening of the new Waldorf-Astoria is an event in the development of hotels even in New York City.
It carries on a great tradition in national hospitality.
