Manila, Philippines, October 23, 1966: With Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos following close behind, President Lyndon Johnson strides to the "Salute Base," a small platform where the two leaders were to stand for the playing of the national anthems and other ceremonies marking Johnson's arrival in the country. LBJ and the leaders of South Vietnam, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and Thailand were in Manila for a summit meeting focusing mostly on the Vietnam war.
