Johnson Signals Slower Great Society Push After GOP Gain
President Johnson, at his Texas ranch, says he will offer fewer Great Society proposals to a Congress with stronger Republican ranks. He plans some new ideas but fewer than in 1966 and will focus on financing already authorized programs. GOP leaders vow tighter spending review and possible cuts, while some moderates resist retrenchment and advocate continued social advances. The war and defense will remain bipartisan priorities with ongoing cooperation from Republicans on security matters.
