Lyndon Johnson: “You are helping build a better life for all men based on education and on progress in science and the arts.”

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.

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

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-third.

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