Presiding over this joint session was House speaker John W. McCormack, accompanied by Vice President Hubert Humphrey, in his capacity as the president of the Senate. Johnson opened this speech by quoting the opening line of Lincoln's House Divided Speech: "As President Abraham Lincoln said, 'We must ask where we are, and whither we are tending.'" Like Johnson's three previous State of the Union Addresses, much of this address was dominated by discussion of Johnson's Great Society initiatives and the Vietnam War. At over an hour, this speech was Johnson's longest State of the Union Address.
