LBJ MEMOIRS: RELIGION'S ROLE


NEW YORK -- Former President Lyndon B. Johnson discusses religion and


religious personalities frequently in his book, The Vantage Point,


published in New York by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.


At top, Evangelist Billy Graham (left) and Mr. Johnson bow their


heads during a 1964 Presidential prayer breakfast in Washington. In


his memoirs, the former President reveals that Mr. Graham acted as an


emissary with Richard Nixon during the 1968 election campaign.


Below, Pope Paul VI and Mr. Johnson exchange gifts during their


1967 meeting at the Vatican. The former Chief Executive and the


Roman Catholic pontiff discussed peace moves in Vietnam during the


meeting. In his book, Mr. Johnson describes Pope Paul as "a quiet,


serious and sensitive man profoundly dedicated to the cause of world


peace."
