Actually, it was a Democratic Party campaign slogan first, used in the
1964 election
(http://www.ithaca.edu/rhp/depts/stratcomm/blogs/posters_and_election_pr
opaganda/slogans,_slogans,_slogans/ ).
I believe Prime Minister Holt used it in 1966 after he began his
friendship with LBJ, long after the '64 election.
You're both right.

RUBBISH !!!! ABSOLUTE RUBBISH !!!
It is a famous quotation of the then Prime Minister Holt.
It later became a campaign slogan.
Any number of easily accessible sites, had you bothered to look, would
have confirmed that.
To take just one such site, look at the last paragraph of
http://www.gwb.com.au/gwb/news/economic/010798.html.
There are heaps of similar sites that say exactly the same thing.
And, as it happens, I have a clear recollection of actually hearing
Harold Holt say those very words.
Every Australian knows only too well that Harold Holt did use those
words, so it is really amusing, Stephanie, that you have stuck your neck
out and adamantly asserted the contrary !
They are as famous words in Australia's history as Churchill's "Blood,
sweat and tears" are in the UK.

Do you actually know ANYTHING at all about the history

heard of the famous words of our late Prime Minister Harold Holt -
"All the way with LBJ" ? Plainly not. Do some reading.
Wow!!! This board has really gotten off target. Australian
history lessons as a topic?? I do confess to a lack of down-under
knowledge. Guess I'll have to rent that old Crocodile guy movie again.
BTW, "lighten up Ronnie baby!!"** Sheeshh. If you don't want
