Lyndon Johnson And Me: My Years as a Congressional Fellow

Abstract

In August 1963, I drove from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to Washington, To begin the year-long Congressional Fellowship Program. In the orientations that followed, the fellows met with journalists, House and Senate members, lobbyists, and bureaucrats, among other Washington notables. But the most memorable person who talked to us was Theodore Sorenson, counselor to President Kennedy, and reputedly his most influential staff advisor.
