Description: In the summer of 1961 President Muhammad Ayub Khan of Pakistan paid a state visit to the United States, during which he toured Texas with – then Vice President – Lyndon Baines Johnson as his guide. One event hosted by the Johnsons was a barbecue held in Ayub's honor at the LBJ Ranch. Captured in this footage is the speech delivered by President Khan as well as the introduction given by Johnson and the concluding remarks by Lady Bird Johnson. Johnson presented President Khan with several “Texas” gifts including a saddle made in Fredricksburg, a pair of spurs, and an “LBJ” hat.
