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.

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.
