Lyndon Johnson: “I recommend that we prosecute with vigor and determination our war on poverty.”

In that pursuit, Mr. President, United States support will be gladly given.

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.

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

I believe deeply in your cause and I believe in you.
