Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"Foreign Service officers in charge of Consulates take place and precedence immediately after Colonels in the Army or Marine Corps and Captains in the Navy."

"We have come here to dedicate a cornerstone that was laid by the hand of the Almighty."

"It will be decidedly American in conception, in its magnitude, in its meaning and altogether worthy of our Country."

"In the absence of the Foreign Service Officer in charge of a consular district, the Foreign Service Officer acting shall enjoy the precedence regularly accorded the former."
