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.
In that pursuit, Mr. President, United States support will be gladly given.
I plan to leave here after the press conference this morning to go to Kansas City to meet with President Truman later in the day.
Thank you all for your welcome and for the wonderful work that you carry on.
