No One Has The Right To Use America's Rivers And America's Waterways, That Belong To All The People. As A Sewer. The Banks Of A River May Belong To One Man Or One Industry Or One State, But The Waters Which Flow Between The Banks Should Belong To All The People.

All Of This Need Not Happen If We Choose Well, And Particularly If We Plan Well And If We Act Well.
