Johnson Proposes Democratic Legislative Program in Washington
Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson outlined a legislative program in Washington focused on highway, housing, and minimum wage bills and opposed several of Eisenhower’s recommendations. He planned to convene the Senate Democratic Policy Committee to map a schedule for a Democratic substitute to the $101 billion highway plan, with Gore to present it and Byrd to outline objections to bond financing. The agenda includes foreign aid, health research, draft extension, military reserves, pay raises for federal workers, tax loophole closures, and other money measures, with possible school aid action undecided.
