Lyndon Johnson: “Hard choices are going to have to be made in the next few days.”

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

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.

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

In that pursuit, Mr. President, United States support will be gladly given.
