Lyndon Johnson: “Sources of pollution may be environmental villains-but they are also social and economic necessities.”

I believe deeply in your cause and I believe in you.

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.

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