More from Teddy Roosevelt
The American people are to be heartily congratulated on everything of importance that has been done in connection with the building of the Panama Canal.
Warning is expressly given to all persons not to commit any of the acts herein enumerated and which are prohibited by law.
Every American citizen should feel not merely gratification, but a very keen sense of pride in the statement made by this distinguished body of engineers as to the way in which the work has been done, and in which it is now proceeding.
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.
