Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"Nothing is more important than what we seek to do today and that is to give national recognition to the outstanding achievement in science and technology."

"I think that this legislation will meet all those standards."

"I am personally interested in the contributions which the Boards can make, and ask their full cooperation in the great tasks before us."

"Dr. Bush, because of our friendship for many years, for your great achievements, it gives me great pleasure to present this to you."
