Thirty-four years ago, I came here as the sun was setting late one evening and I was married to a lovely lady in this city in St. Mark's Church, in downtown San Antonio.
In that pursuit, Mr. President, United States support will be gladly given.
Any reservations or withdrawals heretofore made which affect the lands described above are hereby revoked.
I hope to some day be able to come there and see you in your own land, in your own atmosphere.
