LBJ Liked Zeniths

My wife and I just got back from touring LBJ's ranch and presidential library. All the TVs on display were Zeniths. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let us take any photos in the ranch.

LBJ had a Zenith 21" round-screen TV custom mounted high on the paneled wall opposite his main desk. LBJ was known for having three TV sets side by side so he could watch all three networks at the same time. I figure he only had one in his office simply because there wasn't enough room on the wall to mount three fully sized 21" TVs.

He had three 19" Zenith TVs in his bedroom and three 25" Zenith TVs in the replica of the Oval Office in the Johnson Presidential Library.

The question is did LBJ specify the Zeniths or did someone in the government procurement office specify the Zeniths?
