GILLETTE PLACE: LBJ Ranch, Stonewall, Texas Tape 1 of 2 J: You asked me a minute ago about whether Lyndon was interested in the publicity that came with the Subcommittee on Preparedness. I guess he must have been in that it was a tool to accomplish a cure of the ills that he was attacking. I remember he used the phrase about wanting to "turn the spotlight on profiteers." He was very much concerned about the rising prices on our defense, the items that we brought, the engines of war. He said the prices were getting so much out of hand that they just made any cost calculations an empty, tentative guess. I think what he was trying to do was to get them to clean their own house, the makers of planes, tanks, munitions, all those things, just hold them down by letting them know that out there there was somebody looking. He was a great admirer of [George] Marshall, the secretary of defense. In general, he admired, liked, and went along with Truman. Sometimes they would have a pretty tough exchange of letters when they disagreed. G: Do you recall Marshall's reaction to the investigations? Was Marshall supportive of the subcommittee? J: He testified before them, as did [General Dwight] Eisenhower. I don't know whether it Johnson -- XXVII -- 2 was in 1950 or when, but I remember, I can see in my mind's eye both of their faces testifying before those committees. September always ushered in one of those periods of, "Shall I go to Texas? How much of the fall will I spend there?" It was a divided life. I can't say that it wrecked any great damage on our family, though. I did go to Texas, I forget just when, and Congress adjourned in late September and Lyndon came on down. But it met again in late November. If 1949 was a period that for us, and in retrospect it seems to me for the country, was a sort of happy time, in 1950, particularly as the year wore on, there were rising clouds and frustration. The war was continuing in Korea and getting more and more painful. President Truman was talking about universal military training, the draft. People were mad--particularly Texans, I think--at [Dean] Acheson. They were concerned about the takeover of communism in China. "Who lost China?" was a phrase you heard a lot, and Russia was always looming in the background. So I went home sometime that fall, early I think, and put Lynda Bird in Miss Hubrick's [?] school, which was just about a block and a half down the street from 1901 Dillman. Community children in kindergarten I suppose it was. No, by that time, by 1950 she was six, so she must have been in the first grade there. Miss Hubrick was a born teacher, very much a lady. I still see people who Lynda will remember having met in those times. G: Why did you select that school, do you recall? J: Because it was close and because friends whose opinion I valued recommended it. Johnson -- XXVII -- 3 I began my household life of making little lists and crossing them out, getting Mr. Erb to work on the trees at Thirtieth Place [Dillman Street?] and repairing the roof and laying a concrete slab behind the garage. The children could enjoy wheel toys there, because there were no sidewalks in those days. There may not even be still. Looking back on it I'm sure my children would laugh if they knew some of the saving measures that I did. But the country did them. For instance, you would collect old wool, absolutely unusable old coats or rugs or things, and sell them by the pound to something called the Olson Rug Company. They would wash them and weave them and you would get back, for a very modest price, a new rug. I did a lot of painting and hopefully making Dillman more attractive. Mrs. Ferris worked on it with me. I put Lynda and Luci in a dancing school; I cannot remember the lady's name now. She taught dancing on the second floor of a downtown building; I believe it was on Congress Avenue [in Austin]. Annette Duval, that was her name, and she taught dancing for many years. The people that I would see and go to lunch with were my old school friend, Bess Jones, and my campaign friend, Jerry Wilke, and Anne Bird Nalle and the folks from--we were always ones to spend time with our staff, the wives of our staff, like Nellie Connally and Mary Rather and Dorothy Plyler, old friends like Jeanne Deason, Delle Birdwell, and Sugar Pickle, the lively, cute, funny wife of Jake Pickle. Eloise Thornberry, and Margaret Mayer from the newspaper world. When Lyndon came down, he began covering the state, speaking to his usual constituency, associations of postmasters and REA [Rural Electrification Administration] co-ops. Now that he represented the whole state, adding on a lot, he would go to Johnson -- XXVII -- 4 universities outside the ones that the Tenth District had made his chief objectives, like Southwestern and San Marcos. He would go to Lubbock, to Texas Tech, and to--gee, I think there was one in San Angelo. G: Angelo State I guess it was. Well, did you find that since he did have a much larger constituency to cover that he spent less time at home in Austin? J: Yes.

  • All the Way Study Guide
    Official Study Guide Welcome to All the Way! We are excited to share with you the official study guide for All the Way, a new political drama by Robert Schenkkan coming to Broadway in spring 2014. All the Way examines “accidental President” Lyndon B. Johnson’s first year in office, covering his fight to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and to win election in his own right. Featuring a cast of 20 actors portraying historical figures both famous and infamous, Schenkkan’s play vividly brings to life a crucial turning point in American history. Inside this guide, you’ll find a slate of articles, activities, and other resources that will help you use All the Way as a teaching tool to deepen students’ understanding of the historic and political issues at play in 1964, as well as the process of adapting history into drama. The resources in this guide are organized into three sections, each with a unique focus: The Turning Point, covering Lyndon Johnson and the legislative process; We Shall Overcome, covering the Civil Rights Movement in the critical year of 1964; and Living History, covering the process of bringing history to the stage. Each section contains introductory articles, discussion questions, and a complete lesson plan for an activity designed to actively engage students in the material. At the beginning of each section, you’ll find a Lesson Overview with suggestions for teaching the section as a complete lesson; however, we encourage you to mix and match the resources in each section to create your own arts-integrated curriculum for All the Way.

  • Document Title: Civilrights-Introduction
    Lyndon B. Johnson and Civil Rights: Introduction to the Digital Edition Kent B. Germany Associate Professor of History, University of South Carolina Nonresident Research Fellow, Miller Center of Public Affairs, University of Virginia On 22 November 1963, at approximately 2:38 P.M. (CST), Lyndon B. Johnson stood in the middle of Air Force One, raised his right hand, and inherited the agenda of an assassinated president.1 Cecil Stoughton’s camera captured that morbid scene in black-and-white photographs that have become iconic images in American history. Three days after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. suggested to the new president that “one of the great tributes that we can pay in memory of President Kennedy is to try to enact some of the great, progressive policies that he sought to initiate.” President Johnson promised that he would not “give up an inch” and that King could “count on” his commitment.2 Seven and a half months later, on 2 July 1964, Johnson sat at a table in the East Room of the White House and signed the Civil Rights Act. Reverend King and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy were among the several dozen politicians and civil rights activists crowded together to witness the event in person, while a national audience watched the event live on television. Forged from years of grassroots organizing and political maneuvering, this legislation would eventually force the dismantling of Jim Crow, the approximately seventy-year-old system of racial segregation in the United States. The bill gave the federal government the power to desegregate public accommodations, fight against workplace discrimination, speed up public school desegregation, mediate racial disputes, and restrict several other discriminatory practices.

And you indicated how much of your job was actually administrative, the logistics of getting the press where they needed to be, et cetera. Let me ask you to elaborate on that. R: That's a very important point. The press secretary, if he does his job properly, is going to spend more of his time on administrative work than on any other single thing, because the basic point here is to see that the press has access to the president, or at least access to presidential thinking and presidential strategy and plans and what have you. If it were solely and simply a spokesman's job, it would be easy. All you would have to do would be to keep up with what's going on and just tell the press.
