Lyndon Johnson: “We Americans naturally take our institutions for granted.”

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.

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

Your reward--and it is coming--will be seen in the faces of children who will come down the road that you have helped to open.

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