here now is ken johnson. mr. johnson, welcome back. are we bottoming?e baby dearth or the fertility rate decline -- is it over? >> i think it probably is. i think we've seen a stabilization of the rate over the last couple of years. we've lost about 3.5 million babies over the last five years. one of the big questions is, what's going to happen there? are we going to see a recovery in the birth rates? are we going to see women who have delayed having children begin to have them? or have we lost those babies for good? >> let's expound on that, have we lost them for good? what do you mean by that? >> well, during the great depression of the 1930s, the women who started their childbearing careers early in the 1930s never had as many babies as the women older or younger than them would. those babies probably would have never came. we've had a five-year recession now. the birthrate declines were not as great as they were during the great depression. but still we haven't had about 1.3 million babies that would have been born had the economic boom continued du

johnson was against it so much he turned to ken o'donnell, kennedy's close aid and said it's the worst political mistake kennedy has ever made. then he paused and said you tell him i said that! well, this is not going endure johnson to kennedy. another thing happened. september 2nd, johnson flies to cape cod to see kennedy. about to go on one of the good will tripses to scanned scanned knave ya and said i would like to add poll land. the last thing kennedy wanted he was going to go to poll land. none of the speeches were seen by the state department. kennedy vetoed it. and said do you have any speeches you're planning to deliver? and johnson handed the speeches. he was going deliver and kennedy took a pencil and crossed out a lot of stuff. i wish i could find out what he crossed out. i looked in the johnson and kennedy library. it's not there. i guess it was tough cold war rhetoric that kennedy thought was inappropriate. anyway. on the 13th of -- on the 13th. 12th of november, kennedy convened the first forma'am meet -- formal meeting of the reelection team. it's unlikely kennedy forgo

ken galbraith, came in to see me. he said, "you should understand "that kennedy has the capacity to read and understand. don't be afraid to write him." lyndon johnsonted short memos. he said, "write lengthy memos. "he'll be interested. just put in some humor." kennedy took office as the country was beginning its recovery from the recession of 1960, but unemployment remained distressingly high. kennedy's advisers began to realize the recovery contained seeds of its own demise. the government soon took in more than it spent. that surplus would stop economic growth well short of full employment. that could be corrected in two ways-- by tax cuts or by increased expenditure. i felt our social programs, particularly those on behalf of the poor, were in need of more support, that we had a commitment to people in need and that was how the money should be used. [schoumacher] kennedy's new economic adviser had different ideas. [heller] there wn't as much disagreement as it's often made out to be. i wanted a tax cut but as a package including spending increases. kennedy went to the hill and got knocked down on the programs. to stimulate the economy we had to
