content: This 1967 program presents a behind-the-scenes look at the White House as President and Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson host a state visit by the Japanese prime minister. Julia Child leads the tour which includes conversations with Liz Carpenter, Mrs. Johnson's press secretary, James Symington, Chief of Protocal, as well as the head housekeeper and the White House chef. The program includes scenes of the formal welcoming ceremony in the Rose Garden, preparations in the kitchen, Tony Bennet rehearsing for his appearance as the evening's entertainment, and the formal state dinner. White House Red Carpet was sponsored by Hills Bros. Coffee and produced for NET Festival by WGBH, Boston.

Attached to the end of White House Red Carpet is a short film by Stefan Sharff titled Improvisations. It documents a jazz work by alto saxophonist Giuseppi Logan with percussion provided by Milford Graves. This film was probably broadcast with White House Red Carpet to fill in the hour.
