More from Teddy Roosevelt
Now, Therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested by the Act of Congress, do proclaim that the said lands are hereby added to the Trinity National Forest
I am happy to report to you that the accompanying document shows in clearest fashion that the Congress was wise in the position it took, and that it would be an inexcusable folly to change from the proposed lock canal to a sea-level canal.
Such National Forest so enlarged shall, except as hereinafter provided, be subject to all the laws affecting National Forests.
