Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"Honest mistakes can be forgiven, but it is hard to forgive failures to examine and tighten agency procedures to guard against a recurrence of an error."

"We should never relax our efforts to give the American people a dollar's worth of value for a dollar spent."

"I want you personally to take command of developing the information to help us define the problems that we must deal with in our budget next fall."

"Buy only what you must buy and get the best price you can."
