Johnson Campaigns in 1964 Style in Midwest Barnstorm
President Johnson promotes a Vietnam win stance during a Nebraska and Iowa swing. He channels 1964 rhetoric, hints at a warmup for fall, mingles with crowds, uses bull horns at Des Moines intersections, and cites a 1966 education spend rise to 2.7 billion as part of his broader message.

Fiscal 1966 Ends In Red As Debate Over Deficit Persists
Washington awaits the new fiscal year as Congress and the Johnson administration clash over whether the year ends in red or black. Estimates put last year’s deficit between 3.4 and 3.9 billion, with some projections as low as 2.5 billion. The administration sticks to a 1.8 billion shortfall for the new year, while Senate estimates hover near 2.5 billion. Government sources note the year closed financially stronger than predicted six months ago.
