Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"The dedication of America to our traditions as an asylum for the oppressed is going to be upheld."

"I am asking the Department of State to seek through the Swiss Government immediately the agreement of the Cuban Government in a request to the President of the International Red Cross Committee."

"Our beautiful America was built by a nation of strangers."

"The fairness of this standard is so self-evident that we may well wonder that it has not always been applied."
