I'm out trying to help, because I belive so sincerely
in the message the President brings and in what he has
done XX for this country.
In the last 18 months, the President has
brought the country out of the bad shape it was in when
he took office. He has set the ******* economy on the
right track and restored integrity to the Presidency.
I think he has done well and he should be allowed
to continue the work he has started. The President really
believes in the ability of people, and he believes the
strength of the Nation begins with each individual.
His success really depends upon each of you getting
out and sharing your his faith belief in what each person can accomplish
has
We both believe that good government depends upon how
hard all of us are willing to work to elect good candidates.
The President cannot win without the help of every person
who recognizes the good job he's done. So if you get out and
encourage your friends and neighbors to get out and work for
the President, then we'll win in the primary and in November.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAY 29, 1976
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
The Attorney General has notified me that after
a thorough review, he has decided that the Department
of Justice should not file a brief in the Boston
school desegregation case at the current stage of
litigation.
The Attorney General also pointed out that for
over two decades the Department of Justice has
entered virtually every school desegregation case
that the Supreme Court has agreed to review. If the
Supreme Court agrees to review the Boston case, the
Department of Justice will follow past practice and
enter the case at that time.
I have informed the Attorney General that I respect
his decision not to intervene at this time and agree
with him that the decision in no way reflects upon
the merits of the case.
I have directed the Attorney General to continue
an active search for a busing case which would be
suitable for judicial review of current case law on
forced school busing, and to accelerate his efforts to
develop legislative remedies to minimize forced school
busing. It is my intention to send a message to the
Congress recommending such legislation at the earliest
possible time. In addition, I shall meet next week
with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare, and other members of my Adminis-
tration to review other possible actions that can be
taken to provide communities with assistance in
achieving equal educational opportunity for all.
My objective is to create better educational
opportunities consistent with the Nation's commitment
to justice and equal opportunity. In my view, massive
school busing, while done with the best of intentions,
has too often disrupted the lives and impeded the
education of the children affected. I believe that
ways can be found to minimize forced busing while also
remaining true to the Nation's ideals and our educa-
tional goals. That is my objective.
