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.

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

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.
