Congress Set for Tumultuous Second Session in 1966
The Viet Nam war and Great Society programs will dominate the second session of the 89th Congress opening Monday. All House seats and 35 Senate seats are in play as President Johnson outlines priorities in a State of the Union style message and budget plans. Domestic spending, foreign aid, and Viet Nam funding are expected to shape battles between guns and butter. Speaker McCormack sees harmony between war needs and domestic programs, while Ford calls for prioritizing the war even if it trims new domestic initiatives.
