Johnson was sworn in as President during a period of healthy economic growth, low unemployment, and no serious controversies with major countries. His attention was therefore focused on domestic policy, and, after 1966, on the Vietnam War. Johnson's 1967 Messages to the 90th Congress contains a collection of 23 speeches including: The Burden and the Blessings: Message to the State of the Union delivered on January 10th 1967, Challenge in the Nation's Capital: Message on the District of Columbia Budget delivered on January 25th 1967, The New Era of Progress: Message on Foreign Aid delivered on February 4th 1967, and America's Unfinished Business: Message on Urban and Rural Poverty delivered on March 14th 1967.
