Lyndon Johnson: “I came here in 1924 to seek my fortune.”

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.

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

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.
