Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"I never think of America's beautification program without a deep feeling of pride-pride in our vision of what our country can be, and pride in what we have already done."

"But as many of you know, Mrs. Johnson does have a slight, detectable interest in beautification."

"Now, Therefore, I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Wednesday, May 4, 1966, as a Day of Recognition for Firefighters."

"I never think of America's beautification program without a deep feeling of pride--pride in our vision of what our country can be, and pride in what we have already done."
