Lyndon Johnson: “I know your decision to leave was a hard one.”

This program, sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, constitutes one of the largest and most complex scientific and technological undertakings ever attempted as an international effort.

Thank you all for your welcome and for the wonderful work that you carry on.

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.
