This is an event program illustrating the entertainment that followed a State Dinner hosted by President Lyndon B. Johnson in honor of President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz of Mexico and his wife, Guadalupe Borja de Díaz Ordaz. The event was held on October 26, 1967. In the East Room of the White House, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass delighted guests with their mariachi-inspired rhythms.
