SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the Mobile Register (ALABAMA) dated July 4, 1955. This newspaper contains a front page heading, photo, and news coverage of then US Congressman from TEXAS, LYNDON B JOHNSON suffering a heart attack. Johnson would nearly die from this medical emergency, but would later go on to become President of the US and die in 1973 from that same heart disease. Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 – January 22, 1973), often referred to as LBJ, was an American politician who served as the 36th president of the United States from 1963 to 1969. Formerly the 37th vice president of the United States from 1961 to 1963, he assumed the presidency following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. A Democrat from Texas, Johnson also served as a United States Representative and as the Majority Leader in the United States Senate. Johnson is one of only four people who have served in all four federal elected positions. A 60-cigarette-per-day smoker, Johnson suffered a near-fatal heart attack on July 2, 1955. He abruptly gave up smoking as a result and, with only a couple of exceptions, did not resume the habit until he left the White House on January 20, 1969. Johnson announced he would remain as his party's leader in the Senate on New Year's Eve 1955, his doctors reporting he had made "a most satisfactory recovery" since his heart attack five months prior.
