Lyndon Johnson: “This session of the Congress has been the most productive and the most constructive in all American history.”

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.

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

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.
