This footage, a monthly report produced by The White House Naval Photographic Unit, captures the activities of President Johnson in August 1966. This was a month that saw President
engaged in a range of activities that stretched across his roles as a politician and as a private citizen. Captured in this footage are President Johnson’s meetings with foreign dignitaries
including Israeli President Zalman Shazar, and Canadian Prime Minister Lester Pearson; and meeting with General Westmoreland regarding the ongoing conflict in Vietnam. On the domestic front
President Johnson spent much of the month touring the Northeast as well as the West to speak to the public about his various domestic policy initiatives including Medicare. August 1966 was a
busy month in President Johnson’s personal life, a month that saw him celebrating his 58th birthday and also the wedding of his daughter Luci Baines Johnson to Pat Nugent.

More About the Video
The films created by The White House Naval Photographic Unit documented the life of the President and first family in both an official and unofficial capacity. During the early years of the Johnson administration the films primarily documented ceremonial events, but in June 1966 monthly reports concerning the President began being produced. The monthly reports provide insight into a range of the President’s activities by documenting and presenting a clear portrayal of what the President did in that month. The monthly reports also captured happenings in the life of the first family.
