Lyndon Johnson: “The national interest demands that the matter not stop there.”

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

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.

I believe deeply in your cause and I believe in you.

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