By request of Lyndon B. Johnson, LDS president David O. McKay meets with U.S. president in White House. ... "After they went into the dining room, President Johnson turned to President McKay and said 'I feel that the spiritual and moral fiber of this country need strengthening and we need it badly. I would like to ask you, President McKay, if you can tell me how we can get it.' He said, 'I have been out to see you [in Utah] on two or three occasions before and each time I left you I came away inspired and I feel I would like to have your advice on this.'"
