Default LBJ and space travel

I remember reading that LBJ said that, once we'd landed on the moon,
the USA could get to work on domestic problems. The clear
implication appeared to be that space travel wasn't necessary or
desired.

The question is: did I imagine that? If I did not, can someone point
me to where I can find the exact context and quote?

Thanks.


I read in a book once that he commented to a space official at
Huntsville or Michoud after seeing all of the Apollo Saturn
infrastructure that
"it was too bad that all of this will be ****ed away" after the Apollo
Program ended.
