Lyndon Johnson: “It is good to have you here at the White House with us this evening.”

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

This program, sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, constitutes one of the largest and most complex scientific and technological undertakings ever attempted as an international effort.

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

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.
