I, Lyndon B. Johnson,President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Saturday, October 9, 1965, as Leif Erikson Day
Ambassador Lodge and I have spent many hours together these past few weeks.
This is a very proud occasion for all of us here.
The United States would never undertake the sacrifice these efforts require if its help were not wanted and requested.
