REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT AT A DINNER FOR THE GOVERNORS February 28, 1973 AT 10:15 P.M. EST I can see that all of you enjoyed the Army Chorus, as well as I did. You know really my favorite musical organization and those who are senior Governors and those who were here before, you remember the Strolling Strings, but we thought tonight we would have the Army Chorus and thereby give a balance between the Army and the Air Force and the Marines and the Navy and all the rest. The sone was dedicated to you, "Stout-hearted Men" and that, of course, gives me an opportunity now to propose a toast. I was looking back, Governor, to a meeting over which you presided in Colorado Springs and I was trying to recall the toast and I think I remember it very well. I was thinking, for example, tomorrow night there will be a State dinner here for one of the real great leaders of the world. She happens to be a woman, because she would be a woman of course (Laughter) Golda Meir, and we will propose a toast and I will toast her, the Prime Minister of Israel. She will toast the President of the United States and so that will come tomorrow. We will not have the exchange tonight. This is a different kind of occasion. But now the Governors have already been toasted by that marvelous song, "Stout-hearted Men," but there are women by their side. I was talking tonight with Mrs. Holton about a very brave and wonderful woman, Mrs. Galant, and if you have never heard her name perhaps you might. Her name is Phyllis Galants. She is the wife of one of the POWs, she is the head of the organization, and I have met her and I know when those POWs came back we were all moved by what they said and how they conducted themselves. I said at the time, and I am sure all of you share this view, that they were enormously courageous to have come through what they did and to survive with their faith in their country and their God and themselves.
