Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"The National Reclamation Association was organized to encourage the conservation of water, the greatest Western resource."

"The prolonged drought has given added emphasis to the benefits of irrigation."

"Few have been placed in a situation more difficult, more open every day and every hour to the possibility of a misunderstanding of grave issues by the American public."

"We can almost say, 'He was a great American as well as a great Frenchman.'"
