Lyndon Johnson: “I wish that I could tell you today that the end is in sight.”

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.

In that pursuit, Mr. President, United States support will be gladly given.

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