Johnson as President: Strategy and Policy Investments

The unique circumstances of Kennedy’s assassination meant that Johnson had less flexibility than most new presidents in making policy investments at the outset of his administration; indeed, he went to great lengths to emphasize continuity with Kennedy’s policies at home and abroad.97 A direct comparison with the policy investments of Kennedy or Eisenhower is therefore difficult. This section does not discuss budgets because in the early Johnson administration they largely reflected Kennedy’s priorities. Nevertheless, Johnson’s staffing decisions, strategy and defense posture, and institutional creation and change are useful to examine.
