Lyndon Johnson: “We seek no eternal hostility.”

I believe deeply in your cause and I believe in you.

This program, sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, constitutes one of the largest and most complex scientific and technological undertakings ever attempted as an international effort.

We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.

Your reward--and it is coming--will be seen in the faces of children who will come down the road that you have helped to open.
