When we visited Tehran in 1962 we saw for ourselves the energy and the determination and the skill with which His Majesty and his ministers are carrying out great programs aimed at the welfare of his people. His leadership has been a vital factor in keeping Iran free and in modernizing this ancient land. So it gives me great pleasure and it is a high privilege today to ask those of you, our friends in this country, together with our guests to join in a toast to a reformist 20th century monarch, His Imperial Majesty and the Empress Farah.
Lyndon B. Johnson, "Toasts of the President and the Shah of Iran.," June 5, 1964. Online by Gerhard Peters and John T. Woolley, The American Presidency Project. . | ||
