Answer 1

The Civil Rights Act was promised by President Johnson.

The Voting Rights Act was also Johnson, I believe.

Wasn't the New Food Stamp Program under Kennedy?

The Medical Aid for the Poor, I believe, was also President Johnson.

Aid to Education was Kennedy.

I'm not sure of some others. Did you search each one?
