How do you feel about it?

That ended the preliminar-
les. Without waiting for ques-
tons, the President said De-
tense Secretary Mcnamara had
been there all morning going
over the budget and the mill
tary assistance program.
For nearly 20 minutes he
talked with only a few inter-

Johnson's First Press Conference Features Coffee

1t took a little maneuvering
to get everyone seated. Mr..
Salinger solved the matter by
having the rocking chair
placed directly in front of the
fireplace with reporters seated
on the couches and the chairs.
A few even managed a sip of
coffee before the President
began talking. Out came the
pads and pencils.
The President, seated COM
fortably in the rocking chair,
leaned forward a little and
said:
IT told Pierre a little earlier
in the morning I was going to
buy coffee later in the day and
I really didn't know how much
coffee I was going to buy. He
has more friends than I antici-
pated"
A reporter remarked, More
people work on Saturday than
you think" Another said, 1T is
a new administration, too"
Other Presidents have held
background meetings with
reporters from time to time.
But this was the first such
informal discussion, as far as

He reeled off statistics on
the budget and on the number
Of people he had met with
since becoming President. The
number was 106, or an average
of about 10.a day.
Aides lowered around and
once or twice the President
called out, Jack. If you will
get me that figure, I would like
to have it."
Jack Valenti, a long time
Texas friend and an aide now,
scurried to find it.
Its on my desk, on the budg-
ct, on top" the President called
out.
There were a few more
questions toward the end. 1t
was not yet decided whether he
would go to Texas for Christ
mas he expected he would
-. he was going to be at his
desk most of the time.
Someone asked what Mr..
johnson regarded as the big
geSt single problem facing him
as President.

son replied.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-08

anyone in the White House
could recall, that was complete
ly on the record.
1t was no sudden whim on
Mr.. Johnson's part.
In a discussion with Mr..
Salinger last week the Presi-
dent indicated he would like to
have such a meeting when his
heavy schedule permitted.
He'd had brief talks with
individual newspaper men
over lunch in his office or on a
quick ride to and from the
Capitol. But no press confer
ences.
Friday night. when Mr..
Salinger joined the President
for a swim in the heated White
House pool, the President
repeated he would like to have
the meeting soon.
Nothing more was said then,
and no date was fixed.
The President arrived at the
White House at Gal am. this
morning and little while later
Mr.. Johnson suggested the
meeting right away.
The President leaned back in
his rocker and said:
