| Description: | CU President LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON (LBJ, Lyndon Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson) speaking,"It will call for new obligational authority of $103,800 million - a reduction of more than $4 billion below last year's request of $107,900 million. But it is not a standstill budget, for America cannot afford to stand still. Our population is growing. Our economy is more complex. Our people's needs are expanding. But by closing down obsolete installations, by curtailing less urgent programs, by cutting back where cutting back seems to be wise, by insisting on a dollar's worth for a dollar spent, I am able to recommend in this reduced budget the most Federal support in history for education, for health, for retraining the unemployed, and for helping the economically and the physically handicapped." MS/TLS Congressmen applauding. "This budget, and this year's legislative program, are designed to help each and every American citizen fulfill his basic hopes - his hopes for a fair chance to make good; his hopes for fair play from the law; his hopes for a full-time job on full-time pay; his hopes for a decent home for his family in a decent community; his hopes for a good school for his children with good teachers; and his hopes for security when faced with sickness or unemployment or old age." | |
