Lyndon Johnson: “We owe it the goodness of our hearts and the labors of our hands.”

This program, sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, constitutes one of the largest and most complex scientific and technological undertakings ever attempted as an international effort.

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.

Thank you all for your welcome and for the wonderful work that you carry on.

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.
