LBJ uses new authority to activate reservists
President Johnson ordered over 14,000 military reservists to active duty under broadened powers without a national emergency declaration. The move follows 1966 legislation and contrasts with Kennedy era calls requiring Congress authority. Also notes relief rights under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act and Jakarta flood tolls.
