Lyndon Johnson: “We propose to reduce the program level not by $3 billion, but by $5.3 billion.”

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.

Any reservations or withdrawals heretofore made which affect the lands described above are hereby revoked.

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

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.
