There are too many Generals Johnson for me to confidently suggest that speaker's identity, even after filtering by generals of the Marine Corps around the same timeframe. But nonetheless, the fact that Weber is an elected member of Congress and the General a non-elected member of the armed forces, however high ranking, does make the "paygrade" (authority) of the former greater than that of the latter. So Daniel's suggestion Weber field the question supports our thesis. | |

He might therefore have been present for a congressional hearing held in 1981/1982 but not (in all likelihood) for one held in 1952. | |
