Lyndon Johnson actually said...
For all of these things, for being where you are today, for doing what you are doing today to serve our country, to serve our people, to serve our common employer--the people of the United States--I have asked you to come here to the Cabinet Room so that on behalf of the people of the United States I could express my thanks to each of you, and offer my congratulations to all of you and to the great number of fine, dedicated women that you speak for and that you symbolize.
