Lyndon Johnson

We are in the midst of a major effort to beautify our highways and roadsides

American ingenuity and determination are constantly being applied to improve and expand this system

You have excelled as a Navy officer in combat.

I urge Federal, State, and local government officials, as well as highway industry organizations, and other organizations having a public-spirited interest in our national highways, to hold appropriate ceremonies during that week in…

We must continue to plan our highway system so that it will contribute to the rational use of urban space as well as to pleasant and convenient transportation through the countryside

You had no particular occasion to become intimately familiar with the work of the Central Intelligence Agency, but you were willing to serve your country again.

Your countrymen know of your role in the development of the Polaris, but they cannot know of your accomplishments in the equally crucial business of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Our unequalled highway network, constantly being expanded and improved, makes us the most mobile country in the history of man

Above all, you brought your truly extraordinary capacity for management, for looking to the future, for planning the further creative development of an intricate organization.

And you asked only that you might leave when a permanent director had been selected.

For it is the lot of those in our intelligence agencies that they should work in silence--sometimes fail in silence, but more often succeed in silence.

It is essential that Americans understand and appreciate the importance of highway transportation to their social and economic progress, and to the defense of our Nation

The sea-level canal investigations continue to be of great importance to the United States.

I think we have particular reason for satisfaction that all but 50,000 of the 1,048,554 jobs were provided by the private sector.

But out efforts to defeat poverty, crowding, discrimination, and crime will not be completed tomorrow.

We are determined that the economic and social conditions which threaten the futures of our young people shall be overcome.

I take great pleasure in receiving and forwarding the report of their progress to date.

I hereby transmit the second annual report of the Atlantic-Pacific Interoceanic Canal Study Commission.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by subsection (f) of Section 303 of the Government Employees Salary Reform Act of 1964, and as President of the United States

By virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 1035 of Title 10 of the United States Code, as amended by the Act of August 14, 1966, I hereby prescribe that amounts deposited by members of the uniformed services under that Section…
