Lyndon Johnson: “We want Washington to be a model city that will take all of these Federal services and give them special attention.”

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.

This program, sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, constitutes one of the largest and most complex scientific and technological undertakings ever attempted as an international effort.

We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.
