Lyndon Johnson: “What has happened is the chronicle of a people beginning to realize that what is written in the books of their laws…”

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.

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

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-third.
