Lyndon Johnson: “Today we have begun to redeem that pledge.”

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

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

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