Lyndon Johnson: “We are not children playing with sticks and stones.”

In that pursuit, Mr. President, United States support will be gladly given.

We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.

Sometimes it is your job to go out and scout the road, to encounter and overcome the difficulties that always accompany such a vast new venture as this.

Thank you all for your welcome and for the wonderful work that you carry on.
