Lyndon Johnson: “Any other announcements will have to come from Mr. Christian, if there is anything else to announce.”

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.

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

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.
