Lyndon Johnson: “The fulfillment of the promise of our Constitution, and an end to American poverty, are among such principles.”

I hope that our countries are always as close as they are today.

The mood at the White House this evening is one of cautious optimism.

I call upon them to cooperate fully with the Secretaries of Commerce and State in this important work.

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