Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"I deeply regret Mr. President, that we could not offer you better weather, but what we have lost in the weather we will try to make up in the warmth and friendship of our people."

"The United States of America intends, Mr. President, to be a good friend and to be your strong ally in this effort that we will make together."

"Five years ago I visited Senegal to attend your inauguration as first President and to celebrate the first anniversary of your nation's independence."

"So I should like you to know that you are among friends."
