Governors unite with President Johnson on New England issues
New England governors met with President Johnson to press for action on New Haven Railroad, air transport, roads, and regional economic development. Hoff said a new dialogue with the federal government emerged as leaders urged restoration of funds for health and pollution programs and expansion of textile import quotas. The president announced a Korea liaison and cautioned Congress over full funding while seeking shared federal wealth through tax sharing and block grants. Across the street, antiwar and pro peace demonstrators gathered as the moon and planets aligned in the night sky.
