Lyndon Johnson: “I intend to do everything I can to see that the goal is finally reached.”

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.

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

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

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