(March 9, 2007)--A bill to name the US Department of Education headquarters in Washington after former President Lyndon B. Johnson now goes to President Bush.

The US Senate approved the measure Friday.

The plan cleared the House on Tuesday.

Johnson served as the 36th president from 1963-69.

The Texan died in 1973.

Johnson signed dozens of education-related bills into law, including a 1964 law that established Head Start.

LBJ attended the former Texas State Teachers College, now Texas State University in San Marcos, and taught for one year in Cotulla.

Johnson's experience teaching poor Mexican-American children in the town was considered a great influence on his policies.

“It would be a fitting honor for this small town Texas teacher who went on to become our “Education President,” Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, said.

“President Johnson signed a combined total of over 60 education bills. His commitment to education continued after office by teaching students while he wrote his memoirs.”

The US House approved the bill on March 6.
