Johnson Says Crime Crisis Tops Congress Agenda
President Johnson urged Congress to tackle the rising crime in cities as urgent business when it returns in January. He signed a Washington DC crime control bill and called for broad, citywide anti crime measures while noting reservations about a police questioning provision. The president also pushed for tough budget discipline ahead of the January 29 submission, as officials weigh a late budget in a tighter election year. Executive actions included signing major bills and reviewing requests with Budget Director Schultze, with aides like Freeman, Wood, and Seaborg arriving at the LBJ ranch for budget review.
