Lyndon Johnson: “We resolved here in Honolulu to combat the ruinous inflation that was eating the heart out of South Vietnam's economy.”

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

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

Your reward--and it is coming--will be seen in the faces of children who will come down the road that you have helped to open.

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