George Washington: “I send herewith, for the information of Congress, the treaty concluded between the United States and the Dey and Regency…”

I can not express how greatly affected I am at this new proof of public confidence.

An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.

A good government must be founded on the principle of justice and liberty for all its citizens.

Satisfied, therefore, that you have sincerely wished and endeavored to avert war, and exhausted to the last drop the cup of reconciliation, we can with pure hearts appeal to Heaven for the justice of our cause.
