Johnson Predicts 1966 Prosperity With No Inflation
President Johnson told top business leaders he expects a record year of prosperity in 1966 without inflation. He urged wage price restraint and cooperative action by industry labor and government to keep prices in line with federal guideposts while noting wartime costs in Vietnam and offering unconditional talks to end the conflict. He cited stabilizing prices and a growing economy and warned against overheating while planning meetings with economic advisers. Johnson also discussed food shortages abroad and possible U.S. aid to India and Pakistan with Rusk and Freeman ahead of potential talks with Pakistan's Ayub Khan.
