Lyndon Johnson: “We are in the midst of a major effort to beautify our highways and roadsides”

In that pursuit, Mr. President, United States support will be gladly given.

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.

Thirty-four years ago, I came here as the sun was setting late one evening and I was married to a lovely lady in this city in St. Mark's Church, in downtown San Antonio.

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