Lyndon Johnson: “We have much to be thankful for.”

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.

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

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

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