I look at you young people--the smartest, the healthiest, the most prosperous, the best dressed, with more creature comforts and more advantages than your fathers or your grandfathers ever dreamed of, and yet you are the most straightforward and you are the most concerned generation that I have ever seen in all of my life.

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.
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.
