Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"He belongs to the ages."

"First, I am proud I am a free man."

"Now, Therefore, I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, do proclaim Sunday, November twenty second, 1964, a day of national rededication."

"It can be said of him, as Thomas Jefferson said of George Washington: 'Never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great, and to place him in everlasting remembrance.'"
