Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"We are all saddened at the loss of this good man, whose ideals and accomplishments we have long respected."

"He was a wise and valiant leader, dedicated to the preservation of democracy and the safety of his nation and the Free World."

"Today we are joined in our hopes for a peaceful and a prosperous world."

"As commanders in chief, you and I know that it is never easy to commit men to battle."
