Lyndon Johnson: “This has been a very happy day for me.”

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.

Your reward--and it is coming--will be seen in the faces of children who will come down the road that you have helped to open.

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

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