Johnson’s trusted advisers form a business minded inner circle
President Johnson relies on a cadre of longtime Washington watchers who are mostly attorneys with government, legislative, and private sector experience. The group includes Gov. John Connally, Abe Fortas, Donald Cook, Gerald Siegel, Benjamin Cohen, Edwin Weiss, Dean Acheson, Tommy Corcoran, Sen. Richard Russell, Rep. Carl Vinson, and Cyrus Vance, highlighting a pragmatic liberal bent and focus on patronage and “the man in the right place.”
