MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT JOHNSON
Following is the text of a message which was sent
by President Johnson to the Frime Minister, the Rt. Hon. John McEwen
" In Harold Holt's passing the free world has lost
a courageous and far-seeing leader, and I have lost a
comrade who was generous with the gift of a warm and wise
heart. I found comfort in his friendship and strength in his
partnership. He and the people for whom he spoke were
always dependable and unshakeable. Those blessings remain
as eternal as the sea which has taken him away.
" Please convey to the Australian people my deep
sense of personal loss, and my continued total dedication to
the goals of Australian-American friendship and world peace
for which Harold Holt laboured with such skill and devotiont
