Johnson had not run for re-election in 1968, and Richard Nixon would take office as the 37th President on January 20, 1969. On November 17, 1934, 26-year-old Lyndon B. Kleberg, married 21-year old Lady Bird (Claudia Alta) Taylor (born in 1912) in San Antonio, Texas. They had two children, Lynda Bird (born 1944) and Luci Baines (born 1947). They were married for 39 years and 66 days until Lyndon Johnson's death in 1973. Lady Bird, who turned 93 on December 22, 2005, is the second oldest living former First Lady, exceeded only by Bess Truman, who died in 1982 at age 97. His advice on Vietnam consistently ignored, Ball resigned from the administration in 1966, but he refrained from any public criticism of President Johnson. Only with the unauthorized publication of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 did Ball's consistent opposition to the war become widely known.

A successful lawyer, Ball later wrote books on foreign policy and advised the Carter administration. From the very beginning he opposed US military involvement in Vietnam. Johnson was wearing a yellow dress.
