...Congressmen were called and told that they had half an hour to get on over to the White House if they wanted to come along. In another 45 minutes, Air Force One took off with Johnson, Senators Allen Ellender and Russell Long, Representatives Hale Boggs, Otto Passman, James Morrison, Joe Waggon-ner Jr. and Edwin Willis...
Mississippi's Attorney General Joe Patterson seems not to have been listening.

"The problem is to find an acceptable one. I don't expect that my path will be strewn with roses." Negotiations toward any change will be hard, and agreement will be long in coming, but Fowler's trip to Europe has already heightened a new spirit of compromise and led to a general agreement among the money managers that
