Now, Therefore, I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States, under the authority vested in me by section 2 of the act of June 8, 1906, supra, do proclaim that, subject to valid existing rights, the lands owned or controlled by the United States within the following described boundary are hereby added to and made a part of the Katmai National Monument:

Any reservations or withdrawals heretofore made which affect the lands described above are hereby revoked.

Now, Therefore, I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, do proclaim that the following described land reserved by the Act of September 1, 1959, be designated as the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Park area of the West Potomac Park.

Nothing herein shall prevent the movement of livestock across the lands included in this monument under such regulations as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior and upon driveways to be specifically designated by said Secretary.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-third.

Sometimes it is your job to go out and scout the road, to encounter and overcome the difficulties that always accompany such a vast new venture as this.

Your reward--and it is coming--will be seen in the faces of children who will come down the road that you have helped to open.

Thank you all for your welcome and for the wonderful work that you carry on.

I believe deeply in your cause and I believe in you.

I call upon them to cooperate fully with the Secretaries of Commerce and State in this important work.
