That's the day Johnson must be rack to welcome visiting King tonstantine of Greece for pri- ate talks and a luncheon. While Johnson was preparing to leave, the White House released a report in which administration economists claimed new evidence of a strong economic expansion in the weeks ahead.

The report was issued two days after the International Monetary Fund indicated concern the U.S. economy would not expand satisfactorily in the last half of the year.
