Lyndon Johnson: “I look to this meeting with enthusiasm.”

Thank you all for your welcome and for the wonderful work that you carry on.

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.

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.
