Lyndon Johnson: “America is the strongest nation in all the world, and stronger than all the rest put together.”

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

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.

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