III). In relations with Latin America, the inter- view which President JDHNSON will have this afternoon with the Foreign Minister will certainly be more enlightening: than any prediction made at this time; B) In the field .of domestic policy, there will possibly be an improvement in relations between the Executive ‘and the Legislative within the line’ af “compromise'((A)); the new Presi- dent, much more the conservative than the innovator, with intimate connections with the Congress, and a Southerner, will have mre facility in [gaining] approval of.the big bills ("civil rights," "fiscal reform," "medical aid," "aid to the aged," etc.) precisely because he will accept more conservative formulas of compromise; the new Administration will also tend’ to be more conservative with regard to government intervention in the; economy; however, radical changes cannot be expected, since JOHNSON: will also face the pressure of the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party, and any more pronounced split within the Party would be fatal to the hopes for victory in next year's election.
