| Description: | The White House Rose Garden is the scene of an unprecedented newsreel record as President Johnson briefs reporters before delivering his State of the Union message to Congress. Then there are last minute revisions with speechwriter Ted C. Sorensen before the President leaves for the Capitol with Mrs. Johnson. The President reveals to Congress that spending for the coming year would be less than $98 million -- a drop from last year of $500 million.
