Instead, Washington is now asking, where isnt he?" Vice President Hubert Humphrey seems to be everywhere, doing everything, freely speaking out, increasing his stature, as presprestige and power idential heir apparent. All this is being done with President Lyndon B. Johnsons obvious approval and in sharp contrast to Humphreys obscurity before the President tapped him to make his series of Far Eastern visits first to attend Indian Prime Minister Shastris funeral, then to engage in Viet nam talks at those rites with Soviet Premier Kosygin and then to make a second Asian swing to engage in actual Vietnam negotiations with our Asian allies. Events then quickly developed to keep Humphrey before the public eye. Senator. Robert Kennedy chose to make his remarks about a Vietnam coalition with the Communist Viet Cong while Humphrey was still abroad. The significant point was that President Johnson seemed to encourage Humphrey to respond to the Kennedy coalition proposals, rather than engage in a public dispute with the late Presidents brother himself.' Humphrey, returning from his second Asian trek, was naturally solicited for comment on our Vietnam and Asian policies. His remarks were given added stature because they occurred just as Senator J. William Fulbrights Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Vietnam were just and the Pres-debeing concluded again seemed anxious to let Humphrey voice the Admini1 a big way! believe federal funds for space Take, for example, the way should trades in old equipment for it be drastically exploration reduce competition with the new: sEViet Union deemphasized, This week the guard received peaceful space activities four giant, over longer periods of howitzer cannons for use time and more priority given to by its artillery units.

President Johnson was said to World Book Lore have been impressed by the lack of any widespread criticism of Humphreys views. It was at this point that further developments in two entirely different areas gave Humphrey even greater prominence. Humphrey, as Vice President, serves as head of the National Space Council, which coordinates and has ultimate responsibility under the President, for all space exploratioh' activities. He succeeded Lyndon B. Johnson in the post first created by the late President Kennedy.
