Dear Caldwell:
This is in further reference to a call from your

I have checked with the Photo Office and they

you to take the time to give me an opportunity to know Bud better.
II will look forward to working with him.
II have made arrangements with the appropriate people at the White

an picture taking session or the sort we discussed I will be
immediately ctified and the President will see us briefly. I
anticipate this will take place during the second week in September,
that I will give you as much notice as possible.

Dear Caldwell:
It was a real pleasure getting together with you over
luncheon yesterday. When I got back to the office, I called
Mildred Leonard and told her you would probably be in touch on
the modus operandi for setting up the brief picture-taking
session for Chuck Fancher with President Ford and yourself--me,
too, if it works out. Mildred said she would very much like to
hear from you and that she would probably alert Max Friedersdorf
as to our interest in this session since Max apparently handles
the logistics.
So far as I'm concerned--and I admit I'm fairly prejudiced--
Chuck Fancher is the most important industrialist in America
since he's the chief elected head of the crucial sector of the
apparel/textile/fiber complex--America's largest industrial
employer. We really appreciate your help on this.
Anytime there's anything in the world that I or this office
can do for you, please say the word. Best regards.
Cordially,

it if you could let us know if we need to make additional

Dear Representative Butler:
Mr. Ellis Meredith did mention to me your interest in
meeting with President Ford for the purpose of intro-
ducing Mr. Charles E. Fancher, President of the Imperial
Reading Corporation in Lynchburg, Virginia. Mr. Meredith
has known President Ford for some time, but told me he
too, would like to be present at the meeting.
I have checked with Vern Loen and he has contacted the
President's scheduling office in an effort to arrange the
appointment. I am sure it will be worked out-but in
looking ahead at President Ford's schedule, it is very
difficult to say just when. As you know, he is planning
to be away from Washington most of August and the few days
he will be here appear to be completely filled.
In any event, I know Vern will be as helpful as possible
in arranging for the appointment at the first opportunity,
and I will be certain that the President knows of your
letter to me.

Dear Congressmen:
Vern Loen has forwarded, along with his own personal
endorsement, your letter of November 20 to the President
concerning the invitation extended to him by Mr. Ralph S.
Helpbringer and the members of the Pasadena Tournament
of Roses Association to attend the 87th Tournament of
Roses and 62nd Rose Sowl football game on January 1, 1976,
in Pasadena.
The President is most appreciative of your interest and
thoughtfulness in his doing this and, as he indicated to
you when you personally spoke with him about the matter
when you were in on November 20, he would like to be
present if at all possible. Most regrettably, however,
as his schedule has developed for late December and early
January, it will not be possible for him to plan a trip to
California whereby he could participate in the Tournament
of Roses and attend the Rose Bowl game on January 1 in
Pasadena.

On behalf of the President, I wish to acknowledge your

game in Pasadena on New Year's Day.
The President is most appreciative of your thoughtful-
ness and that of all those of the Pasadena Tournament
of Roses Association and has been pleased also to have
both Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead and Mr. Hartmann
strongly endorse this very cordial and appealing invita-
tion. If at all possible, the President would like to
come out to Pasadena for the festivities on January 1
but, most regrettably, as his schedule for late December
and early January has developed, he will be unable to
plan a trip to California.

Next year marks the beginning of our Third
Century as an Independent Nation as well
as the 200th Anniversary of the American
Revolution. For two centuries our Nation
has grown, changed and flourished. A
diverse people, drawn from all corners of
the earth, have joined together to fulfill
the promise of democracy.
America's Bicentennial is rich in history
and in the promise and potential of the
years that lie ahead. It is about the
events of our past, our achievements, our
traditions, our diversity, our freedoms,
our form of government and our continuing
commitment to a better life for all Ameri-
cans. The Bicentennial offers each of us
the opportunity to join with our fellow
citizens in honoring the past and preparing
for the future in comunities across the
Nation. Thus, in joining together as races,
nationalities, and individuals, we also re-
tain and strengthen our traditions, back-
ground and personal freedom.
As we lay the cornerstone of America's
Third Century, the very special part in
this national undertaking by the Tourna-
ment of Roses in its 1976 theme, "America,
Let's Celebrate," and the special edition
of the Pasadena Star-News to commemorate
the occasion, are most commendable.

from the President for this publication on this year's Tourna-
ment of Roses. You will note he has also included a suggested
draft.
I hope that it will be possible to have such a letter
from the President in the Souvenir edition and shall appreciate
hearing from you. The deadline for the material is December 7.
We are also hoping that it will be possible for the
President to personally be present and to address the nation
at this "kickoff event" of our 200th birthday celebration prior
to the beginning of the parade. This opening celebration will
be incorporated into the television coverage of three networks
and two independent stations and will be seen around the world.
I spoke with him personally about it during my visit to the White
House this morning. It would be an honor for all Americans to
have our President participate in this historic event.
Sincerely,

Mr. Ray McConnell,
Executive Editor,
Star-News,

Pasadena, California, 91109.
Dear Mr. McConnell:
It is a matter of pride for all Americans that the 1976
Tournament of Roses officially kicks off the Bicentenneal Year
of the United States. It's theme, "America, Let's Celebrate,'
is a fitting invitation to all of us to enter this historic year
with joy, and with thanksgiving for the beauty amd majesty sof our
democratic institutions. The pageantry of Pasadena's New Year's
Day parade appropriately signifies the glories of America's
freedoms, and the spirit of the classic Rose Bowl football game
reflects some of the inner fire that has animated our
200-year struggle to secure and enlarge those freedoms.
I extend my heartiest congratulations to the Pasadena Star-News
for this souvenir edition and to the many hundreds who are
participating in this magnificent and memorable celebration, and
my greetings to the millions whose hearts it will refresh.
Let us make it the New Year's resolve of all Americans that the
Spirit of '76 shall continue to inspire this and all succeeding
generations in advancing, under God, the cause of liberty and
justice for all.
Sincerely
Gerald R. Ford

We're proud that the Jan. 1, 1976, Tournament of Roses Parade
Rose Bowl Football Game will officially commence the United Sta
LISSANY
Bicentennial Year.
The theme of the Tournament changes annually to reflect conte
porary moods. Thus, "America, Let's Celebrate!" was chosen as our 1
theme and the 1976 Tournament was chosen as the kick-off event for
national celebration of the Bicentennial.
I believe the Tournament of Roses and the Bicentennial itself
help provide a reference point for modern America. The 1976 celebrat
will offer a moment of stability and chance for reflection in a period
great social growth. It will allow all Americans to congratulate oursel
for a job well done, and to look to the future.
Two centuries of noble achievement by dedicated, hard-work
Americans will serve as inspiration in the designing of the 60 parade flc
as well as being incorporated into all other facets of the Tournamer
numerous events.
As an outstanding showcase of originality and artistry, the Tour
ment draws spectators from all over the world each New Year's Day an
seen by more than 100 million on television and in movies.
I am pleased that the Star-News and the Tournament Associat
are cooperating to provide a special Tournament of Roses edition

As you know, Congressman Waggonner has extended an
invitation to the President to appear in the Shreveport-Bossier
City area on May 1 and 2, 1976. The President would be a
participant in the "Holiday in Dixie" Festival.
Congressman Waggonner would like some indication from the
White House as to the possibility that this invitation will be
accepted. The reason for his interest stems from the fact that
presently the planning committee for the Festival is in the
process of solidifying the various activities and their dates.
Congressman Waggonner would like to be able to confirm the
President's participation while he is in Louisiana during the
holiday season.

BACKGROUND:
1. The "Holiday in Dixie" Festival is an annual 10-day
event held each spring in the Shreveport/Bossier City,
Louisiana area. Daily activities during this 10-day
period include parades, social events, queen's
pageants, along with various public and private
parties. It is scheduled for April 23 thru May 2, 1976.
2. The Congressman strongly urges that the President
attend the Festival on May 1 and May 2.
A) He suggests an arrival in the late afternoon of
Saturday, May 1, to participate in the Ambassador
Club Party which would take place that evening.
This is a very exclusive club whose membership
is limited to outstanding leaders throughout the
United States and primarily the Southwest.
Approximately 900 to 1000 persons will be
present. It will be held at the private home of
Mr. and Mrs. Dalton Woods.

B) On Sunday morning, May 2, Rep. Waggonner
recommends that the President participate in
an air show to be held- at the Barksdale Air
Force Base just outside Shreveport. It is
anticipated that there will be a crowd of
100, 000 to 150, 000 persons.
3. Earlier this fall the President was unable to accept
an invitation from the Congressman to attend the
Louisiana State Fair. However, the President has
personally stated to the Congressman that he would
very much like to visit in Waggonner's district.
Subsequent to the President's regret, Rep. Waggonner
was assured by White House staff that every effort
would be made to arrange a Presidential appearance
next spring. The event described above, therefore,
is Waggonner's renewed invitation.
He is extremely interested in this Presidential
appearance because of his strong admiration and
support for the President, as well as this visit
would be the first time a United States President
has ever appeared in the Shreveport area.

1.
As you know, last January I submitted to Congress a
comprehensive energy plan which would rely upon the free
market system to return this nation to a position of sufficient
domestic energy supplies.
2. I am hopeful that we, the Congress and the Executive, will
soon have in place an energy plan for the American people
which will in the most effective and equitable manner decrease
demands for energy, increase domestic supplies and
ultimately achieve energy independence for this country.

RECOMMENDED TELEPHONE CALL
TO:
Congressman Charles A. Mosher
DATE:
At the President's convenience
RECOMMENDED
n.1.
BY:
Max Friedersdorf and Vern Loen
PURPOSE:
To express the President's regret that Congressman Mosher
has decided to retire from the Congress and to express
appreciation for his support.
BACKGROUND:
Last week Congressman Mosher announced his retirement.
He has held an elective office since 1945 and has served
Ohio's thirteenth district since 1960. He is the ranking
minority member on the House Science and Technology
Committee and the senior minority member on the Merchant
Marine and Fisheries Committee. Congressman Mosher
has been a leading spokesman for both the Congress and the
Republican party on energy and the environment. He played
a key role in getting the ERDA Authorization Bill passed
this year. He has been a leading figure in the Congress on
science education and oceanographic legislation. In his
retirement announcement Mr. Mosher stressed his close
identification with civil rights causes and the environment.
He feels that it is better to retire too soon than too late and
he fully intends to engage in new activities.
TOPICS OF
DISCUSSION:
1. The President might express his appreciation for Mosher's
strong work on the ERDA Authorization Bill which was a
breakthrough on synthetic fuel programs. That conference
report, however, was partially turned down by the House
last Monday and is currently being negotiated with the
Senate.

2. The Congressman and Mrs. Mosher have "declared
our personal independence to seek our freedom as
of January 3, 1977." Mrs. Mosher (Harriet) will be
joining the Congressman in new endeavors and you
might wish them success in whatever they undertake.
3. You might express your appreciation for the long
friendship which you enjoyed with Congressman Mosher
while you were colleagues in the House and during your
tenure as Minority Leader.

TALKING POINTS
1.
Carlos, I think the results of this newspaper
poll reflect the overwhelming sentiments
of the American people that we must get
a handle on federal spending.
2.
I appreciate the almost unanimous Republican
support in the House for my efforts to cut
federal spending by $28 billion in the next
fiscal year.
3.
I believe that my proposal for a $395 billion
spending ceiling coupled with a $28 billion tax
cut would be a speedier way to accomplish
what your constituents clearly want us to
achieve. But at best it would take three years
to get a balanced budget because of the
mandated spending already involved.
4.
It is clear that your consistent voting record
for economy in government reflects the
views of your constituents.
