LBJ Signs Tax Bill and Expands Federal Holidays
President Johnson signed a law replacing fixed holiday dates with Monday observances for Washington's Birthday Memorial Day and Veterans Day plus moving Columbus Day to the second Monday and adding a ninth holiday Columbus Day. The change creates at least five three day weekends yearly while leaving New Year’s Day Independence Day Thanksgiving and Christmas unchanged. The measure targets federal workers and DC observances but states typically follow federal timing. Johnson noted state legislatures have time to adjust practices beginning January 1 1971.
