Conversation Details

The Warren Commission report concluded that the Secret Service was inadequately staffed and equipped to investigate threats to the president and recommended that a Cabinet-level committee oversee presidential protection. In response, President Johnson told Senate Majority Leader Michael J. “Mike” Mansfield [D–Montana] that he would set up a blue-ribbon study group on the matter.
