	Description:	The finger of destiny fixed on Atlantic City points to Senator Hubert Humphrey as he is chosen by President Lyndon Johnson to be candidate for the office of Vice President. The President was up at 5:30 a.m., to make fifty (50) phone calls around the nation which served to confirm his opinion that Mr. Humphrey was the man for the job. Later, Mr. Johnson smashed precedent when he went to the convention to ask that Mr. Humphrey be chosen as his running-mate. Both men are nominated by acclamation and the next night (on his 56th birthday) the President returns to Atlantic City to make his acceptance speech that sets the tone for the coming campaign.

President Johnson on his 56th birthday, "I ask the American People for a mandate. Not to preside over a finished program, not just to keep things going. I ask the American People for a mandate to begin. I truly believe that we someday will see an America that knows no North or South, no East or West. An America that is undivided by creed or color and untorn by suspicion or strife. We do offer the people a choice. A choice of continuing on the courageous and the compassionate course that has made this nation the strongest, and the freest and the most peaceful nation in the history of mankind. For those who have sought to divide us, they have only helped to unite us. To those who would provoke us, we have turned the other cheek. So as we continued our labors, let us tomorrow turn to our new past. Let us be on our way." (Applause, cheering and music) CUS - President Johnson and Senator Humphrey smiling.
