Lyndon Johnson: “This year the Secretary of Defense has been conducting a searching review of the principles underlying the military…”

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

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

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

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.
