Lyndon Johnson: “And all among them can look to an education that will take them as far as their abilities will permit.”

Thank you all for your welcome and for the wonderful work that you carry on.

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

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

Sometimes it is your job to go out and scout the road, to encounter and overcome the difficulties that always accompany such a vast new venture as this.
