Lyndon Johnson: “I am extremely proud of both of these men and their colleagues.”

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

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.

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