Lyndon Johnson actually said...

We not only have military problems here, as everyone knows, but we have political problems and economic problems.

We had a discussion of the political and economic situation, the issues as he sees them--a general report from Ambassador Lodge.

I am proud to honor this request and do hereby extend to the Honorable Harry S Truman this expression of our profound and lasting gratitude ...

We have begun a major campaign to solve a long-standing problem.
