I think it gets LBJ's stamp. It was no coincidence that flight operations
were located in Texas.

LBJ, as probably the most corrupt president in our history, had it built in
Texas to pork barrel his buddies. That is pretty much beyond doubt.

Right. Hence my statement that it was no coincidence.

He also helped keep the Apollo program alive after
the fire, when a whole lot of influential people wanted it scrapped.

Ditto above.

Yep, it was pork barrel alright. That's why it gets LBJ's stamp. Get it?
