C-SPAN Radio begins a month of the LBJ Tapes: Some of President Lyndon Johnson’s 1968 phone calls, from the final release of these conversations by the LBJ Library and Museum in Austin, Texas, and airing for the first time on C-SPAN Radio.
In this first program, you’ll hear October, 1968 calls where LBJ talks to Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Senate Armed Services Committee chairman Richard Russell about the pending bombing halt in Vietnam and the Paris Peace Talks, and about the impact of the presidential campaign on the war.
