Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"I hope and I pray that by not allowing the Presidency to be involved in divisions and deep partisanship, I shall be able to pass on to my successor a stronger office--strong enough to guard and defend..."

"It occurred to me that the medium may be somewhat better suited to conveying the actions of conflict than to dramatizing the words that the leaders use in trying and hoping to end the conflict."

"I have not done near enough."

"It is just as irrevocable as the statement says--completely irrevocable."
