Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"It is a splendid thing, and I am very happy that this undefended border of ours has become internationally famous."

"We are also thinking about the kind of projects that will be useful as recreation to us and to our children."

"So long as I am President of the United States, we will continue to carry out that responsibility."

"It was a program designed first and foremost to give work to the unemployed."
