Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

In his first State of the Union address in January 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson asked Congress to declare an “unconditional war on poverty” and to aim “not only to relieve the symptom of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it” (1965). Also the Energy Crisis was President Jimmy Carter's era.
