My dear Dr. Garcia:
I am writing this letter just after returning
from Arlington Cemetery whore Felix Longoria's
body was buried this afternoon in an impressive
ceremony. It is my sincere hope that this brought
to the Longoria family some measure of gratification
and relief from the embarrassment I know they must
have felt during the past month.
The family -- all of them -- seem to be
exceptionally fine people. We have enjoyed having
them hore, although I wish the circunstances of
our visit and association could have been happier.
If ever there is any way in which I may be
of further service to them, it will be a pleasure
to ão whatever I cane
I wish to thank you for your helpfulness, also.
Your assistance has meant a great deal, and I son
grateful. As I told you, I have not sought and do
not seek any personal attention for my small role
in this. I hope there will be no further reason
for this to linger in the newspapers or instigate
unnecessary contention.
with my best personal regards,
Sincerely,
Lyndon B. Johnson
Dr. Hector P. Garcia, President
