Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"If we can do as well by the Nation as I believe we are doing by the Council, the country is in for the best times that we have ever had over the next several years."

"Our gains have been many, but we are not about to become satisfied with ourselves."

"There is no one in this Government who is going to carry any heavier responsibility than Gardner Ackley and the Council that he leads and over which he presides."

"I hardly know whether to scowl or to smile."
