More from Teddy Roosevelt
I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested... do proclaim that the said lands are hereby added to the Apache National Forest.
I do not recommend any appropriation for their services, but only for the expenses that will be required to finish the task that they have begun.
