Lyndon Johnson: “I do not believe they are going to make that choice.”

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.

I believe deeply in your cause and I believe in you.

This program, sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, constitutes one of the largest and most complex scientific and technological undertakings ever attempted as an international effort.

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