Johnson frames vast 112.8 billion budget amid Vietnam stance
President Johnson unveils a massive 112.8 billion dollar budget and vows to keep U S troops in Vietnam until aggression ends. He seeks sweeping domestic reforms from crime control to a cabinet level transportation department, plus tax changes to fund defense while avoiding rate hikes. Republicans and some Democrats push back on spending and policy details. He warns of possible extra taxes if Vietnam necessities demand them, and urges restraint on excise tax cuts tied to autos and phones. The speech emphasizes civil rights, urban renewal, and extended term proposals alongside a tougher foreign aid posture.
