Performing as a well-rehearsed team, the witnesses seemed not the least bit embarrassed by the repetitiveness of the refrain so romantically propounded by their leader. Said Economic Adviser Walter Heller: "Before us, then, lies no less a challenge than to devote our Great Prosperity to the building of the Great Society." Said Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Anthony Celebrezze: "I am confident that we now, as in the past, will pledge our efforts to make that Great Society a reality." Declared Housing Administrator Robert Weaver: "The Great Society can be and will be ours." "The Right Track." Some officials...
...nearly as risky as inviting Hedda Hopper, Sheilah Graham, Lolly Parsons and Dorothy Kilgallen to tea together, but Chief Economic Adviser Walter Heller thought he could pull it off.

He helped draw up, with Walter Heller, the revised stand-by tax-cutting power the President will probably ask Congress to approve as an anti-cyclical weapon, is working on a new scheme to funnel excess federal revenues back to the states whenever a surplus is generated. His strong feeling that federal spending is too cumbersome to effect short-range control of the economy will probably sway Johnson away from the stand-by public works and other spending devices that...
