Lyndon Johnson: “Yes, I think that the steel situation is on almost every citizen's mind in this country.”

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-third.

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

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

Your reward--and it is coming--will be seen in the faces of children who will come down the road that you have helped to open.
