LBJ Prays for Peace as New Year Opens at Texas Ranch
President Johnson marked 1968 with prayers for peace and a quiet New Year's Eve at the Texas ranch with wife and friends. He led a Sunday prayer in a nearby small Roman Catholic church and invited White House aides to the ranch for a morning briefing. The only 1967 signing was a 15 percent duty cut on bagpipe imports. His daughters and sons‑in‑law vacationed at Red River Lodge in New Mexico, while baby Patrick Lennon stayed at the ranch with family, then briefly to Austin for pediatric care.
