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