Excerpts from a speech by Rep. Gerald R. Ford (R-Mich)
Young Republican National Leadership Training School
Sheraton-Park, Washington, D.C. Feb. 18, 1965
Subject: What a young Republican can for the the Party.
the first step is to study the history of the Republican Party, its
basic philèsophies and the relevancy of its principles to today's world.
There is no substitute for this knowledge.
Secondly, I suggest volunteering to work for the Party at the local
level in a dedicated way.
As a third step, I recommend discussing politics and government with
other young people. Having become knowledgable about the Party's history and
background, the person taking part in discussions with others can explain the
Republican philosophy.

Taking an active part in a political party is patriotism
in action.
This is a share of duty to accept the responsibility involved in building a
better, stronger America. In so doing, we will strengthen the free world.
*
*
I urge Young Republicans to be fully aware that Individual freedom
of action and choice is the major motivating factor that built this Nation
over nearly a 200-year period of time.
*
*
*
There is a need for the imagination, talent and the will-to-work of
young people. From your ranks will come the leaders, who will face mighty
challenges, seek higher goals, assume greater duties and accept broader
responsibilies.

Republicans must have creative ideas and constructive proposals
to solve admitted national problems. As a political party, we must earn
the confidence and trust of the American people.
Republican task forces are currently developing ideas in many
areas, including economic opportunity Congressional reform and financing.
The goal is to get results with real meaning for every American
by helping guide the Nation toward freedom, security, peace and well-being--
with fiscal r esponsibility.

The Republican Party in 1966 can expect victories. We must meet
difficulties head-on with energy and with unity.
