he met informally 30 days after
Johnson became President. Accord

him a memorandum concerning the
sale of wheat to Russia. Johnson
said that the Congressional battle
on the proposal would have to be
won by his Administration if he
was to show any strength over iso

Commenting on Johnson, in gen

concern for the manner in which
the Senate Rules Committee has
handled its witnesses, Pearson said
that the key witness, Don Reynolds,
whose testimony involved President
Johnson in the case, was a security
