Dear Mr. Poland:

I am heartfully grateful for your kind message. It strengthens my deep faith that Americans will come together in this critical hour, placing the cause of peace and freedom above any personal or partisan concern. This is the paramount interest that my own decision seeks to serve. I am proud to be encouraged by your confidence.

Sincerely,

Lyndon B. Johnson
