The statement is false. Lyndon Baines Johnson was never a leader in Congress for two decades.

Explanation:

Lyndon B. Johnson's political career began when he ran for Congress in 1937 as a democrat. He was the 10th Texas Congressman and served from 1937-1949. He also became the Lieutenant Commander for the US Navy during his reign as a congressman where he fought in several battles.

From Congressman he became a Senator from 1949 until 1961 where he held high prestige titles such as Democratic whip, Senate minority leader, Senate minority leader, etc. He was later elected as the 37th President of the US.
