Lyndon Johnson: “I do hereby invite the several States of the Union and foreign countries to take part in the California World's Fair.”

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.

We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.

It is very hard to believe any announcement of political intentions these days.

I call upon them to cooperate fully with the Secretaries of Commerce and State in this important work.
