Lyndon Johnson: “Victory over poverty will not quickly or cheaply be won.”

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-third.

Any reservations or withdrawals heretofore made which affect the lands described above are hereby revoked.

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.
