Lyndon Johnson actually said...

No person, or company or government has a right in this day and age to pollute, to abuse resources, or to waste our common heritage.

Despite all of our wealth and knowledge, we cannot create a Redwood Forest, a wild river, or a gleaming seashore.

Pollution touches us all. We are at the same time polluters and sufferers from pollution.

We must take this opportunity to make our Capital a more attractive and inspiring place in which to live and work.
