Lyndon Johnson: “The leadership you have given has been unequaled.”

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.

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