More from Lyndon Johnson
I plan to leave here after the press conference this morning to go to Kansas City to meet with President Truman later in the day.
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.
There is no greater tragedy than the young boy or girl who forfeits a future to the enslavement of dangerous drugs and narcotics.
I know something of the graciousness that the people of this city always show to all of those who come here to visit with them.
