(pictures sent April 8, 19761
ASTORIT
OF THE UNITED PRE THE NO
HS-
THE
World Trade Week, 1976
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
When our Nation's founders met two hundred years ago in Philadelphia to declare
our independence, they categorized in unambiguous terms the reasons that compelled
them to embark upon such a momentous and irrevocable course. "Cutting off our Trade
with all Parts of the World" was high on the list of grievances.
The patriots who declared independence in 1776 set the United States on the path
to leadership in the interdependent world of 1976. Their action enabled us, over a
period of two centuries, to construct a firm foundation of commercial alliances with
nations around the globe. Last year our two-way trade with other nations amounted
to $204 billion, with a record trade surplus of more than $11 billion.
America's performance in the world marketplace is a true measure of the quality
of American products, the extent of American ingenuity, and the dedication of
American labor and industry to international commerce. Trade has been indispensable
to our economic growth, to the greater well-being of our citizens, and to peaceful
progress in our relationships abroad. It remains indispensable as we look to the new
horizons of our third century.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of
America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 16, 1976, as World Trade Week.
I call upon all Americans to join with business, labor, agricultural, educational,
professional and civic groups, and public officials at all levels of Government, in observ-
ing World Trade Week with appropriate activities and ceremonies.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of April,
in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundredth.

BIC GIFTS (Offered)
December 29, 1975
Dear Mr. Latta:
Max Friedersdorf forwarded your letter
concerning the Ottawa Glandorf School's
desire to present a Bicentennial quilt to
the President.
As Max pointed out, we have been receiving
a large number of requests for Bicentennial
gift presentations. Unfortunately, it would
be impossible for the President to accept
each one and so a policy has been developed
for acceptance of such gifts by a member of
the President's staff at an appropriate
White House ceremony. Our plans are to
display the gifts, which are accepted on
behalf of the nation, in the Great Hall of
the Commerce Building during 1976.
If your constituent would like to have me
arrange a presentation, I would be more than
pleased to at a convenient time and day.
Mr V. Heath can reach me at (202) 456-2800.

Dear Del:
Many thanks for your December 8 latter
concerning the desire of Mr. Ken Heath's
junior high school history class to
present a Bicentennial quilt to the
President in early 1976.
Because of the great number of offers
from citizens through the country to make
special Bicentennial presentations, special
procedures have been established for
acceptance of such gifts. I will be
pleased to contact the White House Bi-
centennial Office and ask that you be
advised of the appropriate steps to be
taken to arrange for this presentation.

Dear Congressman Latta,
As the Junior High history teacher in the Glandorf Elementary School, I am very
interested in projects this year with a Bi-Centennial theme.
One of our projects has been completed and, thanks to you and many of our politi-
cal leaders, it was very successful. Our Junior High citizens now have a deeper know-
ledge of their responsibilities to our country and each other.
I talked with Mrs. Kiene today and she told me that she was able to speak with you
this past week-end concerning the Bi-Centennial quilt our class is making.
Our class is excited with your interest in our project. They are thrilled with
the possibility of presenting it to the President.
Mrs. Kiene mentioned that you would like to have the project ready to present some-
time in January. Originally, we had planned to make it a year-long project; but. that
was before we considered the President's busy schedule due to the upcoming primaries.
We would appreciate as much time in January as possible; but of course, any time
that is best for President Ford and you will certainly be all right with us.
We appreciate the privilege of participating in such a memorable experience. I am
sure that this is one history lesson that will never be forgotten by our students.
Thank you for making this opportunity possible. We are eagerly awaiting your re-
ply.
Sincerely,
R.FORD LIBRARY

I. PURPOSE
To comply with a request by Bob Michel and the 16

Easter Recess.
II. BACKGROUND, PARTICIPANTS AND PRESS PLAN
A. Background:
1. At the last Republican leadership meeting, Bob Michel
requested that Jack Marsh and Max Friedersdorf schedule
a meeting with the President prior to the Easter Recess
(April 15-26) for the 16 Republican Whips.
2. Mr. Michel mentioned that during the last few meetings
with the Whips, there was some noticeable discontent
and general grumbling. Mr. Michel feels that if the
Whips could meet with the President and air their
thoughts, it would greatly improve the Whips' feelings
and boost their morale. Bob Michel selected all of
the Whips when he became Minority Whip and this is the
second term they are serving as Whips.
3. A number of complaints will be raised by Michel and his
Whips. Topics will include: patronage, closure of
military bases, alleged unresponsiveness of Cabinet
Members to Republican Congressmen, insufficient notice
on vetoes and Administration positions on significant
legislation.
4. The Whips also would like a group picture with the
President.
B. Participants: See TAB A
C. Press Plan: Announce meeting; White House photographer only.

TALKING POINTS
1.
Bill, I appreciate your bringing Mr. and Mrs.
Sellers in for this presentation made in behalf of
the Colorado Gun Collectors Association.
2. This bronze sculpture is symbolic of the Colorado
Gun Collectors Association's position on gun control.
Last year I submitted to Congress my crime
message. In that message I called for:
a. mandatory minimum sentences for those
persons who use guns in the commission
of crimes.
b. increased investigative resources in major
metropolitan areas.
C. the elimination of "Saturday night specials".
3. I am adamantly opposed to any legislation that
would establish licensing or registration require-
ments of guns. And, I will oppose any gun
legislation that goes beyond my own program.
4. As you know, a bill supported earlier by Congressman
Conyers was defeated in the House Judiciary Committee

Dear Vern:
Attached is some additional information regarding the
Colorado Gun Collectors Association's desire to make a presenta-
tion to the President. Enclosed is a copy of their letter of
December 17th to Max Friedersdorf and a picture of the sculpture
they wish to present.
Frank Sellers indicated he would be able to come to
Washington on short notice to make the presentation. He would
be able to do so any time but the weekend of February 28th
when he is getting married!
There are approximately 200 members of the Association in
Colorado, but, of course, such a presentation could be widely
publicized across the country through gun collectors' magazines,
etc.
I do not view the presentation as something controversial
considering the President's stated position on gun control
legislation.
Sincerely,
want Walt Klein
Administrative Assistant

Dear Mr. Friedersdorf:
I am writing to you at the suggestion of Congressman William Armstrong
(R-Colo.)
The Colorado Gun Collectors Association would like to present to
President Ford, or to The White House, Whichever would be appropriate, an
original bronze scuppture by Colorado artist Rusty Phelps. The sculpture,
entitled "The Minuteman", is emblematic both of our celebration of the Cen-
tennial/Bicentennial and our feelings on the current matter of anti-gun
legislation: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be
infringed." The statue is 11 inches high.
Naturally we would prefer to make the presentation in person, but we
also understand that this might not be possible due to the demands on the
President's time and will be advised by you on the proper procedure.
Sincerely yours,
FunkM Sellar
Frank M. Sellers
