Lyndon Johnson: “We rededicate ourselves in this season of good will to the ultimate promise of peace made 2,000 years ago.”

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.

I believe deeply in your cause and I believe in you.

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.

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