IT GIVES ME real pleasure, Colonel Lindbergh, to present you this Congressional Medal in commemoration of your achievements in aviation.
I am sure the sentiments expressed by Congress in this token are shared by the whole American people.
Note: The presentation of the special medal took place in the President's office. Among those present were Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Lindbergh, Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Navy Charles F. Adams, and Postmaster General Walter F. Brown.
Following the ceremony, Colonel Lindbergh accompanied the President and the principal aviation officials of the Federal Government to the President's fishing camp on the Rapidan River, where they participated in a conference on aviation policy and the coordination of Federal aviation activities.
