Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"I hope that it won't be necessary for us to have any more public employment programs similar to what we had back in the thirties."

"They are the shots that did not sound, the blood that did not spill, the treasure that did not have to be spent to stamp out spreading flames of violence."

"I believe the American people--who know war's cost in lives and fortune--endorse the investment for peace they have made in their program of foreign aid."

"These are tragedies which summon our compassion."
