Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"I revere the Greek spirit, that for thousands of years has inspired the world, and that has taught men to cherish freedom above all else in life."

"Turkey has been a sturdy ally in NATO and CENTO."

"Then as now, the American people admire the vitality and the passion for freedom of the Turkish people."

"It gives me a great deal of genuine satisfaction and pleasure to welcome you here to this symbolic first house of this land that you have done so much to defend and to preserve."
