Mr.. Secretary of State Gray,

and fellow citizens of Florida:
In his great speech dedicating

Daniel Webster said, This vast,

and around me proves the feel
ing which this occasion has
aroused"
In Webster's words, may say
that this vast, uncounted and un-
precedented multitude here in
the States Capital proves the
feeling which this occasion has
aroused. 1t is reassuring that this
occasion has SO aroused the PEG
pie of Florida. The countless
thousands of citizens gathered
here to witness this event shows
the tremendous interest of the
people in their government. An
alert, active interest on the part
of the people in their govern
ment is the best of all safe
guards for democracy and free
dom.
Today, | take up the burden
you laid upon me last May. To-
day, take over the supreme
executive power of our state.
Today, | enter upon four years
of consecrated service to the PEG
pie of Florida. Today, | assume
the political and governmental
leadership of a great state Today,
| begin carrying out the covenant
| made with the people during
the campaign.
Heavy tasks lie ahead Florida
is faced with many terrific prob
lens. They must be met and
mastered. With the friendly CO
operation of the ableSt group OF
citizens yet to serve in the Legs
lature, with the solid support of
citizens in all eChelonS of civil
life, and with the guiding hand OF
God, we will go forward and re-
move the many road blocks On
the highway Of FlOrid S
progress.
At this point, hope | may be
pardoned for making few per

1t, is my opinion that with a
well-planned, vigorous fight, we
will win next year. As to this
year, it is in the hands of
Congress. If we are placed in
Phase A, it will be most help
full: additional funds would be
gratifying. r.
No matter what the verdict,
the efforts and expenditure
have in my opinion been many
times worth the cost. We are
definitely in the picture. Had
the efforts not been made, no
one would have heard of the
Hardin structure the past
What will Congress do? I
don't know. One thing I do
k~now-things are really moving.
The Public Lands Committee
of the House has undertaken
the valuation of the dam site
and storage and ordered the
the Federal Power Commission
to report it's findings the first
dav of the 82nd Congress. The
Indians, through their Council
have employed Engineer Dibble
to appraise it's value for the
Indians benefit.
The findings of these people
will help determine a value on
the dam site and storage needs.
Other projects are battling over
these matters now, even to the
extent of a possible hold-up on
work and funds.
It appears a most opportune
time to make the fipht of our
lives for a sizeable anpropria-

Mr.. Yellowtail read statutes
