Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"I particularly want to thank you for furnishing us the most able executive, I think, that we have in the White House--Mrs. Bess Clements Abell, a Kentucky girl, who walks with kings and prime minister..."

"For my part, I think I know."

"And I am here to assure you that his Government has not tired of the search for peace."

"I will never forget this long afternoon that I have spent in Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky."
