Lyndon Johnson: “We have been working toward that, and I believe we are succeeding.”

We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.

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.

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

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