I, for one, feel that there is a genuine need to restudy, reevaluate, reassess many aspects of this office and its functioning as an office in these times.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and now if you will join me, we will go to lunch over in the Mansion.

The office of the Presidency is, as one President described it, "pre-eminently the people's office.

This office is a difficult office, and any who occupy it must be a humble man before the task that he faces.

Now, Therefore, I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, in recognition of the value of the New York World's Fair as an effective instrument for the promotion of international understanding, good will, tourism and…

This house is honored by the presence of such distinguished guests.
