Lyndon Johnson: “I am asking Acting Secretary Wilbur Cohen to get this effort underway immediately.”

Thirty-four years ago, I came here as the sun was setting late one evening and I was married to a lovely lady in this city in St. Mark's Church, in downtown San Antonio.

We are so happy to be here in sunny San Antonio today to spend this preeminent national holiday.

Their presence symbolizes a confluence of civilizations--the gathering together of talents and dreams from many nations.

I hope that our countries are always as close as they are today.
