C-SPAN Radio continues our August airings of 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 program, you’ll hear October and November 1968 calls where LBJ talks about the pending bombing halt in Vietnam and the Paris Peace Talks, and how the presidential race and the war are affecting each other. Participants in these calls include Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen and LBJ’s vice president Hubert Humphrey, the Democratic presidential nominee.
