You might not be aware that during the Eisenhower administration, Johnson and Ike made a deal to pave Texas with that interstate money. Texas ended up getting the Lion's share of that allocation even though the population at the time didn't warrant it. Johnson was a quiet deal maker unless he needed to squeeze some balls.As to JFK's political re-election trip to Texas, you might find this interesting. I was aware of that, as well as Adlai Stevenson being roughed up on a visit there earlier. Kennedy himself was in no position to overcome Texas politics or make any deals - HE was who they were after in the first place. http://www.pophistorydig.com/topics/tag/jfk-texas-trip-1963/ |
