THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
I know that I speak for the American People when I express their universal pleasure at your successful flight over the South Pole. We are proud of your courage and your leadership. We are glad of proof that the spirit of great adventure still lives. Our thoughts of appreciation include also your companions in the flight and your col- leagues whose careful and devoted preparations have contributed to your great success.

This Historic Message is the first in the world's history to be flashed by radio from a President of the United States to Antarctica. It was dispatched to Explorer Byrd in Little America through the official radio station of the New York Times—12,000 miles in a fraction of a minute. The foregoing copy was released from the White House for public record.
