Lyndon Johnson: “Through Medicare, the often crushing burden of hospital and doctor bills has been eased.”

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

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.

Sometimes it is your job to go out and scout the road, to encounter and overcome the difficulties that always accompany such a vast new venture as this.

We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.
