I send the good wishes of the American people for your success in leading the Philippine people in continued progress. Our two nations are bound by friendship and alliance, and you may be assured of our enduring support and good will.

It is with genuine pleasure that I look forward to continued close partnership between our peoples, and cooperation between my administration and yours. We have much work to do both in our own countries and together to further the hopes of our peoples for dignity, well-being and peace.

Dear Mr. President:

As you prepare to relinquish the duties and responsibilities of your high office, I send you my warm good wishes. I know that you must take great satisfaction in having served your country with such distinction in its highest office. The friendship of our two nations has grown even closer under your leadership.

Mrs. Johnson and I recall with great pleasure the State Visit which you and Mrs. Macapagal made to our country and send you now our sincere affirmation of friendship and good will.

Sincerely,

LYNDON B. JOHNSON

[His Excellency Diosdado Macapagal, President of the Republic of the Philippines]
