00:00 – 00:38: Sen. Lyndon Johnson in the early 1950s, based on Johnson’s appearance and his suit coat, which appears to be the same one he wore in his 1949 official Senate photo.
00:43 – 01:06: Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson in Dallas on November 4, 1960. This sequence is specifically in the lobby of the Adolphus Hotel as the Johnsons are trying to walk to the ballroom for a luncheon. At the start, 00:43, there’s a shot of future Republican senator John Tower (looking towards camera). Next to Tower, wearing glasses with a microphone pressed against his stomach, is KRLD-TV broadcaster Jim Underwood.
01:11 – 02:26: Sen. Lyndon Johnson in the early 1950s at Amon Carter Field (later Greater Southwest International Airport). Amon Carter started operating in 1953, so this is sometime in or after ’53.
02:39 – 04:47: Vice President Johnson speaking to the Democratic Men of Dallas County organization at the Baker Hotel in downtown Dallas on April 23, 1963. Also present were the North Dallas Democratic Women’s Club.
05:04 – 05:14: Sen. Lyndon Johnson campaigning at an airport in 1960. Johnson was in Texas multiple times between securing the vice presidential nomination in July and the election in November. He was traveling in Texas without Kennedy on a five-day tour, November 3 to November 7. This might be from that visit.
05:23 – 07:03: Dallas visit of Pakistani camel cart driver Bashir Ahmad, accompanied by Vice President Lyndon Johnson on October 17, 1961. Johnson met Ahmad in Pakistan in May 1961 and invited him to visit the U.S. as his guest. Sequences include visit to Fair Park and Six Flags Over Texas.
07:14 – 08:22: Vice President and Mrs. Johnson at an airport. Unsure of the date, possibly 1962 based on following sequence at Chance Vought. Also unsure of location, though based on shots showing the tower, it is not Love Field in Dallas or Meacham Field or Amon Carter Field in Fort Worth. Also does not appear to be international airports in Austin, San Antonio or Houston.
08:23 – 08:52: Demonstration of the GAMA GOAT, a six-wheel drive semi-amphibious off-road vehicle at the Chance Vought plant in Dallas in 1962. This sequence may or may not be related to the above sequence with Vice President and Mrs. Johnson at an airport.
