We are too quickly losing important landscapes in this country to development - and I worry that if we do not act to protect them now, future generations will grow up in a profoundly different world.

I'm going to go out and get everybody together and say I think we ought to protect this for generations to come. Now, let's get down to work and walk the land and talk about the conflicts and get everybody involved.

I will work tirelessly to ensure our public lands are managed and preserved in a way that benefits everyone for generations to come.

We've got to step up our conservation efforts before it's too late. We're not protecting our lands and natural resources. Take the Grand Canyon for example; I'm sure that at one time it was a beautiful piece of land, and just look at the way we've let it go.

Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.

Your future is still before you. Your land is a vast storehouse of mineral and agricultural wealth awaiting further development for the benefit of mankind. It potentialities are magnificent.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this moment on, it's going to be America First.

I hope that my family will continue in another thousand years.

Let the people on both sides keep their self-possession, and just as other clouds have cleared away in due time, so will this, and this great nation shall continue to prosper as before.

This will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
