      abstract = {This collection offers online access to the microfilm  series, "Lyndon B. Johnson and Foreign Affairs, 1963-1969."  Included here are White House Central Files which consist  of the Foreign Affairs Subject Files and the National  Defense Subject File on the Vietnam War. The collection  enumerates policies, responses, and recommendations from  the president's advisers and cabinet members on handling  the growing conflict in South Vietnam, its effects on  domestic policies, and the public's reaction to the war.  The files document the Johnson administration's escalation  of the war from a commitment of sixteen thousand advisers  in November 1963 to that of over five hundred thousand  combat troops at the end of 1968. The archive details  controversial issues such as the Gulf of Tonkin incident,  the initiation of regular bombing attacks on North Vietnam,  the decision to commit large numbers of combat troops to  South Vietnam, and efforts to maintain public support for  the war. In addition, this collection consists of public  opinion mail both supporting the administration's efforts  and opposing those efforts. The files consist of materials  from the most voluminous record group at the Lyndon Baines  Johnson Library. The subject series consists of essential  correspondence and reports pertaining to the functions and  operation of the White House; the federal government; and  state, local, and foreign governments. Also filed in this  series is correspondence from private individuals,  companies, and organizations.},
