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.
Thirty-four years ago, I came here as the sun was setting late one evening and I was married to a lovely lady in this city in St. Mark's Church, in downtown San Antonio.
We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.
