Johnson urges bipartisanship as Nixon program eyed
President Johnson appeals to Democrats in Congress to give Nixon a sympathetic hearing while pressing a broad social reform agenda. He names cuts to Social Security, urban housing plans, poverty programs, Voting Rights Act extensions, gun licensing, and a raised congressional salary. He notes a $3.4 billion surplus with a continued 10 percent surtax and calls for unity to advance urban renewal, education, and civil rights.
