OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(Kincheloe Air Force Base, Michigan)
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
UPON DEPARTURE FROM
KINCHELOE AIR FORCE BASE
7:08 P.M. EDT
It is a great weekend in Michigan, of course --
first, the Cherry Festival in Traverse City, and then
coming up to Mackinac Island -- with a tremendous
opportunity to see Interlochen and to hear the wonderful
music by the talented young people, and the inspirational
efforts by all of those who follow in the best tradition
of Dr. Maddy; but then to come to the Upper Peninsula
and have an opportunity to see Kincheloe, which is a
very important and vital installation in our overall
national security setup.
I am delighted to praise the people in the
military who do such a superb job, and I am most grateful
for their warm welcome.
They do something that most Americans need to
appreciate. They are on alert. They are in the front
line of maintaining the peace, and we should be most
grateful for the long hours and the dedication that
they do for all of us.
And I would simply say to the people of
Kincheloe and K. I. Sawyer and Wurtsmith Air Force Bases
that we are justly proud of them and thankful for the
contribution that they make.
It is a great place to come and we will try
to come back as often as we can.

VISIT OF
PRESIDENT AND MRS. FORD TO
NORTHERN MICHIGAN AND CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
FRIDAY - JULY 11, 1975
Departure: 11:20 A.M.
From:
Terry O'Donnell
BACKGROUND
NATIONAL CHERRY FESTIVAL PARADE
At 2:00 p.m. today, you and Mrs. Ford will participate in
Traverse City's National Cherry Festival Parade, now in its
49th year. The event was started originally to celebrate the
cherry harvest. (Michigan grows 70 percent of all the cherries
in the world and Traverse City has the largest concentration
of Red Tart cherries anywhere.)
The theme of this year's festival is "Countdown to '76".
Today's parade will be the third parade of the Festival; and
will consist of 175 units from surrounding communities and
from the Traverse City area. Thirty-eight high school bands
from all over Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
will be on hand for the occasion. The Heritage Parade was
held Wednesday evening and on Thursday the Junior Royale
(youth-oriented with many of the floats being built by schools)
was held at noon.
The Festival leadership consists of a board of 23 volunteer
directors comprised of Traverse City community people not
necessarily in the cherry industry. This year's Festival
President is Harley L. Schumacher. Upon arrival at the Parade
staging area, you and Mrs. Ford will be met by Mr. Schumacher
and by Dorinda Murray, National Cherry Queen and six members
of her court who were chosen in a contest sponsored by non-
profit organizations in Michigan. Miss Murray is from Reed
City (approximately 50 miles away) and will spend this entire
year traveling throughout the United States representing the
cherry industry. At the staging area you will also meet Les
Biederman and the leadership of the Maritime Academy.
2
The 1.2 mile parade route will take you through the center of
downtown Traverse City just one block from Grand Traverse Bay.
A large crowd is expected to be on hand. Although your
participation is expected to last only 45 minutes, the entire
parade will require approximately 2-1/2 hours.
GRIFFIN RECEPTION
Following the parade, Senator and Mrs. Griffin will join you
and Mrs. Ford in your car and you will motorcade to the Griffin
Residence located on North Long Lake Road, 7 miles west of
Traverse City. The informal reception is scheduled from 3:00 p.m.
to 4:30 p.m. -- and will be held on the lawn of the Griffin home.
(In case of rain, the reception will be cancelled.) Some 200
friends and community leaders have been invited (List attached
at TAB A). You will mingle informally for approximately 75
minutes, then depart via motorcade for the airport.
THE MID-AMERICA COMMITTEE RECEPTIONS/DINNER - BLACK TIE
You and Mrs. Ford will attend two receptions and a Black Tie
Dinner sponsored by the Mid-America Committee for International
Business and Government Cooperation, Inc., Friday evening at
the Palmer House. The Mid-America Committee was formed in 1966
to provide a platform in the Midwest for an exchange of views
on international trade between senior business executives and
top government officials. The Committee was founded by Thomas H.
Miner, President of an international business consulting firm
in Chicago and it was Mr. Miner who extended the invitation to
you to participate in tonight's activities.
Most of all the leading multinational manufacturing firms and
financial institutions with headquarters in Chicago and beyond,
are represented in the Committee. Members include chief executive
officers of such firms as International Harvester, Sears Roebuck
and Company, Borg-Warner, Standard Oil Company, the First National
Bank of Chicago, Continental Bank, Deer and Company, Beatrice
Foods Company, and Caterpillar Tractor Company.
Over the past nine years, these executives have met with almost
100 U.S. and foreign government officials in off-the-record
sessions aimed at discussing and strengthening business
possibilities.
3
Among the guests have been President Luis Echeverria of Mexico,
Dr. Ashraf Ghorbal, Ambassador of Egypt; Simicha Dinitz,
Ambassador of Israel; James Hodgson, Ambassador to Japan,
and Fred Dent. President Nixon, in conjunction with the
Executives Club of Chicago, addressed the Mid-America Committee
in the early part of 1974.
After attending a small (approximately 75 guests) Sponsor's
Reception, you and Mrs. Ford will proceed to a General
Reception (attendance: 650). After mingling informally
for fifteen minutes, you proceed to the dinner in the Grand
Ballroom. Following dinner, you will make remarks and depart.

Dear Mary and Donald,
I just wanted to drop you a
note to let you know how much I enjoyed
meeting you and how grateful I was for
your literally taking me by the hand
when I was in Chicago.
I thoroughly enjoyed our stay--
thanks to you--and I hope when you come
to Washington I can somehow reciprocate.
Hopefully, the pictures that were
taken at the dinner were good. I haven't
yet seen the contact sheets, but I promise
to send you the photos when I get them.
Many thanks again.
Sincerely,
Sheila Rabb Weidenfeld

Dear Mrs. Tragge:
Please forgive the delay in my
response to your letter regarding your
granddaughter, Sharon Bluhm.
The article had been brought to
my attention and we have been trying to
locate a photograph. We have finally
found one, and I very much regret that
it does not show Sharon's face.
Mrs. Ford was delighted with the
roses and has asked me to again express her
thanks. We hope Sharon is pleased with
the enclosed photograph.
Sincerely,
