1966 Press Photo Governors Romney and Connally at National Governors' Conference

While Governor George Romney of Michigan listens, right, Texas' Governor John B. Connally expresses an opinion at the opening session of the National Governors' Conference in Los Angeles. Romney, regarded by many colleagues as perhaps the top contender for the GOP presidential nomination two years from now, stirred up a bit of a scrap when he wanted the governors to declare that any resolution adopted by the group be "germane to the functions and responsibilities of the state." His proposal was defeated.
