Kennedy and LBJ campaigning, 1956-1962
B/W 16mm, SOF, WBAP-TV, 00:18:29 -- 00:00 - 03:33: Sen. Kennedy and Sen. Johnson in Dallas on October 25, 1956 to campaign for Democratic presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson. 03:40 - 04:25: WBAP-TV cameraman Dan Owens checking into a motel. Very likely this was in Massachusetts on or around July 30, 1960 to cover a joint press conference with Kennedy and Johnson at Hyannis Port. 04:25 - 06:44: LBJ arrives for and participates in a joint press conference with Kennedy in Hyannis Port on July 30, 1960. 06:45 - 08:00: LBJ aboard a chartered flight, likely on or around July 30, 1960. This is probably the return flight from Massachusetts or possibly another campaign stop in 1960. The brief segment with Dan Owens does suggest it’s all from the same trip. 08:06 - 12:00: This documents the big Kennedy/Johnson visit to DFW on September 13, 1960. It begins with their arrival in Fort Worth, motorcade to and speech at Burnett Park in Fort Worth. Then at 11:35, there’s a very brief shot of the stop in Arlington. And then, at 11:39, it goes to Kennedy’s speech at Memorial Auditorium in Dallas. It concludes with a shot of a man clearing tickertape from the Dallas motorcade, shot near the Baker Hotel. 12:05 - 13:07: Senator Kennedy greeting crowds and visiting with Senator Ralph Yarborough at Bergstrom Air Force Base in Austin on September 13, 1960, prior to the DFW visit listed above. 13:09 - 14:47: President Kennedy visits Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn at Baylor Hospital in Dallas on October 9, 1961. At 14:05, outside the hospital, Dallas police chief Jess Curry enters from the left and starts to walk inside. 14:48 - 16:53: Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn’s funeral in Bonham, Texas on November 18, 1961. Former President Harry Truman exits vehicle at 15:30, and quick shot of former President Eisenhower at 15:38. 17:08 - 18:28: President Kennedy and Vice President Johnson visit Houston (with Congressman Albert Thomas in bowtie) on September 12, 1962. At 18:01 is Houston Mayor Lewis W. Cutrer, presenting a proclamation.
