INTRODUCTIONThe War on Poverty that Lyndon Baines Johnson launched in January 1964 became the

centerpiece of the domestic reform program that the president called the Great Society. As aliberal nationalist, Johnson believed in using the power of the federal government to addressthe social ills of the United States. He saw himself as the heir of Franklin D. Roosevelt andthe New Deal, and he hoped to achieve a transformation of society that would outdo evenwhat his role model had accomplished. From 1964 until he left office in 1969, Johnsonpursued a broad agenda against want and deprivation across a number of critical areas—rural life, urban blight, education, job training, and more.

The success or failure of the War on Poverty has been a key element in historicalevaluations of Johnson and his presidency. Critics from the right have said that the presidentand his administration tried to do too much and fell short because their effort was badlyconceived from the start. On the left, people who analyzed the antipoverty campaign havesaid that Johnson spent too little money and administered his programs in an ineffectivemanner. Some more dispassionate evaluations have been attempted, but the intricacies ofwhat the Johnson administration tried to do in fighting poverty are only now beginning to beexplored in any depth.

This microfilm edition of the files of the key Johnson aides in the White House who dealtwith poverty and related matters should go a long way toward facilitating the kind of in-depthresearch that this subject requires. To implement his programs, the president relied on acadre of subordinates who oversaw what the bureaucracies were doing to push the GreatSociety and who reported back to Johnson on what was taking place and when presidentialintervention was needed. These files are a day-to-day record of how the War on Povertywas fought, the successes it achieved, and the areas where it fell short.

The national interest in poverty at the end of the 1950s arose from a sense that largesegments of society had been left behind during the postwar prosperity of that time. Anumber of writers, most notably Michael Harrington in The Other America (1962), pointedout that millions of Americans did not have secure jobs, enough to eat, and any prospect ofbreaking out of the cycle of poverty. The growing realization of the dimensions of the racialproblems of the United States, and the deprivation in which many African Americansexisted, added to the urgency of the matter as the presidential administration of John F.Kennedy began to engage the issue in the second half of 1963. By the time of Kennedy’sdeath in November 1963, tentative planning for some modest initiatives to deal with povertyin case studies had begun to make their way through the bureaucracy of the White Houseand the federal government. It remains unclear just how far Kennedy might have wished togo in this direction in a presidential election year and, should he win in 1964, a second term.1

For Lyndon Johnson, eager to demonstrate his loyalty to the goals of his fallenpredecessor and to show his own commitment to social justice, the poverty issue had a greatappeal in December 1963 and into 1964. Though he exaggerated the amount of realdeprivation he had faced growing up in central Texas in the 1920s, Johnson had developed agenuine empathy for the poor as a teacher in Cotulla, Texas, and as state director of theNational Youth Administration in Texas in the mid-1930s. He presented himself as the heir

vi

of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal, and he wanted to surpass the achievements ofhis mentor in eradicating poverty and want from the nation.2

When Johnson learned from economist Walter Heller and other Kennedy aides of theexistence of proposals to fight poverty, he was immediately captivated at the prospect ofsuch an ambitious undertaking for his administration. On November 23, 1963, his first full dayas president, Johnson told Heller that the antipoverty idea was “my kind of undertaking. I’minterested, I’m sympathetic. Go ahead, give it highest priority. Push ahead full tilt.” Over thenext month, Heller and other Johnson aides pulled together a general proposal that wasavailable for the president to consider over the Christmas holidays at his Texas ranch.Johnson took the modest outlines that his staff had prepared and urged them to make itlarger. “It had to be big and bold and hit the whole nation with a real impact,” Johnsoninstructed them.3

A name for the endeavor emerged during these meetings. Looking for the most dramaticimpact on the popular consciousness, Johnson decided that “The War on Poverty” best methis needs of the moment. Efforts to find some other way to say the same thing did not cometo any kind of fruition, and so the label stuck. The public learned of what Johnson had inmind during the first two weeks of 1964. In his State of the Union address on January 8, hetold his audience and the country that “this administration today, here and now, declaresunconditional war on poverty in America. I urge this Congress and all Americans to join mein that effort.”4

To run this new project, Johnson needed a figure of some prominence with the requisiteability who would serve the president’s political needs as well. He chose R. Sargent Shriver,the director of the Peace Corps, a brother-in-law of the slain president, and a man of energyand determination. In late January Johnson told Shriver: “we’re getting this War on Povertystarted,” and he asked Shriver to manage the project. The next day Johnson told him he wasgoing to announce Shriver’s name at a noon press conference. For the next four years,Shriver was the person that the public thought of when the War on Poverty was mentioned.5

Shriver was one of the success stories of the Great Society, and the records of WhiteHouse aides in this collection well document how large a role Shriver played in whateversuccess the War on Poverty achieved. His regular reports to the president aboutdevelopments at the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), his memoranda about emergingproblems, and his administrative presence as an advocate for the poor are sprinkled throughthese records. A new biography of Shriver provides a good overall account of hisstewardship, but these documents will flesh out his contributions in a rewarding way. Thereare, for example, in the files of Bill Moyers many of Shriver’s speeches during his years asdirector of the Peace Corps in the Kennedy administration, an added bonus for scholarslooking to measure his influence in the 1960s.6

The first task that Shriver and the White House confronted after Johnson appointed himwas to push the antipoverty program through Congress in 1964. While Johnson has a well-deserved reputation as a legislative magician, the precise ways in which he persuadedlawmakers to approve his goals for this topic are well laid out in these files. The involvementof members of the administration such as Robert F. Kennedy and Adam Yarmolinsky in thedevelopment of the legislation can be traced in detail. There were also timely contributionsfrom such outside influences as economist John Kenneth Galbraith. Johnson had his aidesinvolve all the domestic agencies of the Cabinet with the aim, as one aide put it, “to eliminatepoverty in America. Poverty in the midst of plenty should not be tolerated.”7

Once the legislation reached Capitol Hill, the Johnson administration tracked its progresswith care. These files contain counts of the House and Senate members who were for andagainst the antipoverty program. The horse trading and subtle pressures that the White

vii

House could apply are laid out in all their complexity. Shriver told Johnson in July 1964, forexample, that he expected to have sixty-seven votes for the War on Poverty measure thenbefore the Senate. His estimate proved to be high by six votes, but such richness in primarysources indicates what these files can offer the researcher at all levels.8

Passing the War on Poverty legislation in 1964 was just the beginning. Once that had beenaccomplished, implementing the program was a daunting task. Contrary to later legend,Congress and the White House did not throw vast amounts of money at the povertyconditions of the United States. The initial appropriation came to only $1.5 billion, a smallamount given the dimensions of the task before Shriver and his agency, the OEO. After thepassage of the legislation he favored, Johnson, as he so often did, turned his focus to othermatters. Actually running the War on Poverty was the responsibility of others.

The War on Poverty embraced a number of different programs. The OEO had charge ofthe Job Corps, a program to put disadvantaged young people to work at centers around thecountry. Another responsibility was the Community Action Program (CAP), which wasdesigned to give the poor a greater voice in managing their own affairs within cities andtowns. Since this endeavor conflicted with the existing power structure in localities, CAPsoon became a controversial lightning rod for the whole poverty war. Less troubled wereVolunteers in Service to America (VISTA) and the issue of migrant workers. Other Cabinetagencies had responsibility for various aspects of the antipoverty program.

Such an administrative hodgepodge tested the abilities of the overworked Johnson WhiteHouse staff to keep track of each phase of the War on Poverty. Lyndon Johnson professedto like clear lines of authority. In practice, however, he insisted that the aides under hisdirection deal with problems on an ad hoc basis as these issues arose. That made foroverlapping confusion in practice. For the researcher in the White House aides files, it meansthat a good deal of historically interesting information about poverty found its way into theserecords. Speech writers such as Ben Wattenberg would get documents needed for theirefforts that traced the progress of War on Poverty campaigns. Aides involved withcongressional matters, such as Henry Wilson, needed information to persuade lawmakersand thus received other notable documents.9

There is, for example, an abundance of memoranda, letters, and reports about the state ofMississippi and how the War on Poverty looked from one of the key battlegrounds of thecivil rights struggle. Reports of near-starvation conditions in some counties sparked theWhite House to get more involved. That intervention in turn produced negative reactionsfrom powerful white politicians. Issues such as legal services for the poor caused furthercontroversy in the state. Civil rights leader James Farmer is mentioned in some of thecorrespondence on this subject. The materials for a provocative case study of how the GreatSociety influenced and was in turn shaped by the experience of a single state are here inabundance.10

Running parallel with the concerns of a rural state such as Mississippi was the effort inthe Johnson administration to revitalize urban America. This priority took the form of theDemonstration Cities program that eventually passed Congress in 1966 as the Model Citiesprogram. By the time the White House made this initiative one of its legislative priorities, thehigh tide of the Johnsonian dominance of Congress in 1965 had passed. Enacting thelegislation required all of the president’s skill in that area from an increasingly unreceptiveCongress. The files of an aide such as Michael Manatos, who had responsibilities forcongressional relations, have much primary documentation about how the White House wonthe votes it needed to make Model Cities a reality.11

These records also underscore the brief period in which the War on Poverty had to workto address the social inequities of the United States in the 1960s. During the heady days of

viii

1965, when everything seemed possible for the administration to accomplish, there is a sensein these papers of the confidence that Johnson had about his capacity to be as great apresident as his role model, Franklin D. Roosevelt. The escalation of the Vietnam War in1965 and 1966 and the racial unrest that occurred after the Watts riots in Los Angeles in1965 undercut popular support for the Great Society and the War on Poverty by the fall of1966. For the remaining years of Johnson’s presidency, his aides fought to save what theycould of Johnson’s domestic programs rather than trying to expand and develop them.

The changed mood is evident in these records as early as the waning months of 1965when influential senators, such as Majority Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana, begancalling for a slowdown in the enactment of new legislation. Mansfield contended thatCongress should investigate how well the Great Society programs were being implemented.At the same time, Johnson’s own enthusiasm for his poverty war cooled. His aides, such asHarry McPherson and Mike Manatos, found that persuading Congress to do more on povertyrequired large expenditures of their time and effort. These records are valuable for showinghow the War on Poverty fared on Capitol Hill after the excitement of enacting the initiativeinto law had passed.12

On the general subject of executive-congressional relations regarding the War on Poverty,the documents provide intriguing glimpses of lawmakers and their egos. In one instance,Senator Paul H. Douglas of Illinois is praised as “a real soldier” when the administration wastrying to fend off efforts to give state governors more control over poverty programs in theirstates. Other memoranda illustrate how temperamental senators, such as Patrick McNamaraof Michigan, could be when the White House failed to consult them about announcements ofpoverty programs in their states. In addition, Senator Hugh Scott, an influential PennsylvaniaRepublican, made sure the White House knew how much he had supported Johnson whenothers of his party had not done so.13

The files are also valuable for providing clues to national attitudes toward the War onPoverty. In 1967 the White House sent copies of the president’s message on poverty to anumber of influential and prominent Americans. Flattered to be asked for their responses,these leaders responded with detailed critiques of what the administration was doing. Thesedocuments enable the researcher to gauge thinking about government programs and the sizeof the Washington establishment in fresh ways. For other individuals who would laterbecome prominent in a different sense, the records contain surprises. The controversialmayor of Washington, D.C., Marion Barry, appears as a young activist whose hiring for apost in the District’s antipoverty program stirred controversy at the time.14

By 1968, claims that the War on Poverty had failed in its purposes united left and rightagainst the Johnson administration. As the president’s political position collapsed in thewinter of that year, he announced on March 31, 1968, that he would not seek another term oraccept the nomination of the Democratic Party. While Johnson had withdrawn from politics,there remained almost ten months of his presidency. Following the assassination of civilrights leader Dr. Martin Luther King on April 4, a Poor People’s March in Washington, ledby one of King’s associates, Reverend Ralph David Abernathy, came to the capitol city tomake its protest against the slow pace of the War on Poverty, racism, and the war inVietnam. The aides’ files of the Johnson White House, particularly those of James Gaither,have a good deal of information about how the administration sought to deal with this protestto head off any chance of violence and unrest. Other aides, such as Joseph Califano, HarryMcPherson, and Matthew Nimetz, became involved in resolving these matters.15

As 1968 ended, the Johnson administration was ready to give way to the Republican victorin the presidential election, Richard M. Nixon. With the transition to the new administration,the Johnson aides prepared extensive reports on the workings of the OEO and its

ix

accomplishments. In the files of Charles Murphy, this material records how far the Johnsonpresidency had come in its efforts and where they had fallen short. The records thus comefull circle from the optimism of 1963–1964 to the disillusionment and political failure thatdrove Johnson from office five years later.16

A short summary of what the White House Aides’ Files about the War on Poverty containcannot do justice to the many rewards that researchers will find in these microfilm reels.There is valuable information on the Head Start Program, the Job Corps, the President’sCouncil on Youth Opportunity, the Rent Supplements Program, and many, many moreworthwhile endeavors that arose under the sponsorship of Lyndon Johnson. Scanning theserecords also underscores how many of the problems of the 1960s, from hunger to ruralpoverty, remain to perplex policy makers today. The answers that the Great Society devisedto address the problems of that time and place may no longer seem adequate in the twenty-first century. On the other hand, it would be arrogant to assume that the hard work of theJohnson White House aides has nothing to add to modern debates about the role ofgovernment in society. The snapshot of a prosperous society looking out for its less fortunatemembers may be a lesson in big government trying to do too much or a noble exercise intrying to make a compassionate nation even better. The value of these records, in all theircomplexity, lies in the information they contain about a fascinating historical period as well asthe challenge they offer to our time to do even better in meeting the needs of the nation.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTEThis collection from the Lyndon B. Johnson Library in Austin, Texas, reproduces White

House aides’ records of the War on Poverty programs. On January 8, 1964, PresidentLyndon B. Johnson called for a war on poverty in his State of the Union address andcontinued this crusade until he left office in 1969. Committed to significantly reducing thenumber of America’s poor population, the Johnson administration endeavored to define theproblem of poverty and take legislative action to eradicate it. The documents in thiscollection reflect the scope and strategy of the president’s ambitious mission, whichremained unfulfilled by the end of the 1960s.

From the Executive Office in the White House, many presidential advisers assisted inwaging the War on Poverty during Johnson’s second term. This collection presentsadministrative files and materials from the desks of Ceil Bellinger, Peter B. Benchley, FredBohen, Horace Busby Jr., Joseph A. Califano Jr., S. Douglass Cater, Ervin Duggan, JamesC. Gaither, E. Ernest Goldstein, Richard N. Goodwin, Robert L. Hardesty, Charles Horsky,and Hubert Humphrey.

A large group of documents in the collection covers the background, organization, andfunctions of the Office for Economic Opportunity (OEO), which reported directly toPresident Johnson. The centerpiece of the Great Society’s campaign against poverty, theOEO formulated the goals of many domestic programs, including Volunteers in Service toAmerica (VISTA), Head Start, Job Corps, Community Action Program, Neighborhood YouthCorps, and Summer Youth Programs. In 1964, Johnson named R. Sargent Shriver as directorof the OEO, who was the first director of the U.S. Peace Corps at the time. This collectionpresents extensive records from Shriver’s office, and they provide unique insight into theOEO’s management of groundbreaking social experiments.

Other materials in the collection present assessments by the newly establishedDepartment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) of the Model Cities program (Reels9 and 10), which sought to counteract the deterioration of American urban areas. Documentsin the collection also discuss socioeconomic conditions in rural areas, a major target of Waron Poverty initiatives. Policy analysis and recommendations on rural poverty appear inreports from the National Commission on Rural Poverty (Reels 16 and 17). Documentscover the administration’s plans for economic development of the impoverished Appalachianregion (Reel 22, Frame 0514).

Hoping to focus the nation on economic inequality and racial discrimination, the PoorPeople’s Campaign brought demonstrators to Washington, D.C., in May 1968. Materials inthe collection detail campaign leaders’ demands for low-income housing and food assistance(Reel 15, Frame 0200) and the response from HUD and other executive departments (Reel15, Frame 0354). Documents cover the antiriot measures against the protesters encamped inResurrection City, a shantytown erected on the National Mall (Reel 15, Frame 0476). Thecollection also reproduces letters from private individuals to Johnson commenting on the PoorPeople’s Campaign (Reel 15, Frame 0476).

xii

Apart from the specific documents mentioned above, this collection consists ofmemoranda, correspondence, informal notes, working drafts, briefing papers, presidentialspeeches, and a catalog of federal assistance programs. The materials are organizedalphabetically by White House aide beginning with Ceil Bellinger and ending with HubertHumphrey. LexisNexis has microfilmed the files of Harry C. McPherson through Henry HallWilson Jr. in The War on Poverty, 1964–1968, Part IV.
