Executive Order No. 10266 of June 30, 1951, entitled 'Suspension of Certain Provisions of the Officer Personnel Act of 1947, as Amended, Which Relate to Officers of the Navy and Marine Corps,' is hereby revoked.

Thank you very much, my friends--thank you.

I am deeply complimented by the presence of every person here today.

Thus still more Federal intervention becomes necessary.

Such a conversion of local regions into Federal satellites poses a threat deadly to our liberties.

It was in this spirit that those who preceded you in the great Northwest, in only a century and a half, turned an unsettled wilderness into an inland empire--an empire vastly enriched by this gigantic structure which today we so proudly…

The wise control of our water resources obviously requires the most skillful and comprehensive planning.

I have learned this: there is no honor one American can receive that is greater than the readiness of his fellow citizens to meet with him for a brief moment.

With everything that affects your relationship to your Federal Government, that Government means to be liberal, human, sympathetic--always.

I must be on my way.

In all that the people can individually do for themselves, government ought not to interfere.

In this effort, we shall avoid extremes.
