THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
On the occasion of Id al Fitr, the special
holiday concluding the fasting month of
Ramadan, Mrs. Ford and I send our warmest
greetings to our fellow Americans of the
Islamic Faith.
The diversity of our religious legacy has
been a sustaining source of inspiration and
a positive influence on our society ever
since our Founding Fathers established a
system of government dedicated to the prin-
ciple of religious freedom. Celebrating
the reaffirmation of your Faith, this feast
is a particularly happy occasion for you and
a reminder to the rest of us of the vitality
and strength of your heritage in our national
life.
Your rededication to Islam's spirit of com-
passion and human dignity fortifies not just
you and your families, but our nation. It is
with this in mind that Mrs. Ford and I wish
you a most joyous and memorable observance.
