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.
We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.
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.
In that pursuit, Mr. President, United States support will be gladly given.
