Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"In addition to its aid to the Armed Forces and disaster victims, the Red Cross has continued to provide many other vital services to our nation and our communities."

"Red Cross staffs are on duty around the clock to assist our servicemen and their families in Vietnam and here at home."

"Accidents continue to cost the lives of thousands of men, women, and children on our farms, and disable nearly 750,000 more each year."

"I urge all Americans to give this voluntary organization their full support for the benefit of all of our citizens."
