Lyndon Johnson: “I just stated that as a policy of this Government.”

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.

It is a delight to come back to San Antonio and to see so many friendly and familiar faces.
