Fran THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON April 20, 1976 MEMORANDUM TO: PETER SORUM FROM: SUSAN PORTER SUBJECT: Action Memo Mrs. Ford has accepted the following out-of-town invitation: EVENT: Performance of "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" with Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson To Benefit the Lyndon B. Johnson Grove in Washington DATE: Thursday, April 29, 1976 TIME: 8:00 p.m. PLACE: Mark Hellinger Theatre 51st and Broadway, New York City CONTACT: Louise Snyder O: 363-4417 212/ H: 270-2795 Fiance's: 224-3318 COMMENTS: Mrs. Ford will travel to New York to attend a benefit performance of "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" for the LBJ Grove in Washington. She was personally invited by Mrs. Johnson to attend. Following the performance will be a reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Krim at 33 East 69th Street. A guest list is attached. Because Mrs. Ford will have a very busy day the next day and because the performance does not begin until 8:00, I would suggest that her attendance at the reception be little more than a drop-by. (FYI, Mrs. Johnson will be attending a dinner preceding the play at the Rainbow Grill. Although Mrs. Ford is specifically invited, I gather this will be mostly the Johnson family, former Johnson Cabinet members, etc.) Molly Parness is chairman of the evening but Louise Snyder is doing most of the nitty-gritty. Liz Carpenter is also involved. SEAL FORD LIBRARY -2- NOTE: April 29th has been declared Duke Ellington Day by Governor Carey and Mayor Beam of New York. A benefit concert to be taped and televised later will be held at 7:30 at Cathedral Church St. John the Devine. As of this writing, we are working to determine whether Mrs. Ford can participate in some way. Mrs. Ford will remain overnight in New York and will fly to Indiana Friday morning for some campaigning prior to returning to Washington Friday evening. The file is attached. Thank you.

Johnson, who served in the U.S. Congress and the White House for 32 years. "All my life I have drawn sustenance from the rivers and from the hills of my native state I want no less for all the children of Amer- ica than what I was privileged to have as a boy," embodies the late President's thoughts on the environment, and is one of four LBJ quotations used in the Grove. The simply designed 15-acre grove of white pine trees, flowering rhododendron, azalea and golden daffodils with a large, roughhewn granite rock at the center is located along the Potomac River in Lady Bird Johnson Park in Washington, D.C. "It is my hope that with its trails and benches, its plantings and. bowers of trees, the Grove will become a people place. I hope, too, that its view-spanning the whole of Washington's skyline-will inspire visitors to greater citizen participation," Mrs. Johnson said when the site was chosen.

CUTTINGTON COLLEGE CROSSROADS FUND / 815 SECOND AVENUE / NEW YORK, NEW YORK, 10017 First National City Bank grants four Cuttington Scholarships Four 1-year scholarships for seniors majoring in Economics at Cuttington College have been made available by the First National City Bank of New York. One of the scholarships will be awarded each year between 1976 and 1980. The scholarships will provide total cost of tuition for a full year at Cuttington, including accommodations, board, instruction and books. Scholarship recipients will also work at the First National City branch bank in Monrovia, Liberia, during their vacation period, enabling them to earn extra money and gain practical experience in the field of Economics. John T. Fey, national chairman of the Cuttington College Crossroads Fund, said he is delighted with this response by First National City Bank to the appeal, citing it as an example of how academic instruction and practical experience are often combined as part of the Cuttington educational method.

In case we have not yet heard from you As the acting "Board" of Cuttington College in the United States, the Episcopal Church's national Executive Council does not have the resources to mount a full-scale campaign throughout the Church in behalf of the Cuttington College Crossroads Fund. Direct solici- tation is, of course, being made of many groups within the Church, including the bishops, Executive Council members, Church Center staff and others. We are also asking some Foundations to consider an investment in the future of free education in Liberia through the Crossroads Fund. Our decision not to have an expensive nation-wide campaign does not mean that we are not interested in receiving pledges from individuals. If you are interested and want to help, we invite you to join us. Just fill out the pledge card printed below and send it to the Cuttington College Crossroads Fund, 815 Second Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017. Your interest and help will be appreciated.

CUTTINGTON the unique opportunity Cuttington College Cuttington is not just an ordinary church-related college! It is the only private liberal arts American-style college in sub-Sahara Africa, and therefore is unique among the world's institutions of higher learning. The college is located in Suacoco, Liberia, but part of its special nature lies in the fact that students come from Ethiopia, Nigeria, Rhodesia, South Africa, Uganda, Ghana and indeed other states near the east coast as well as the west coast of Africa. Cuttington is also uniquely important because of its service-oriented contribution to its local environment, integrating education in all the traditional disciplines with the development of many skills and techniques., One example: Paramedical Services An excellent example of Cuttington's relevance is the paramedical service provided for 30 outlying villages within a 50-mile radius of the campus. Since Cuttington has the only four-year baccalaureate nursing program in West Africa, it is the only institution equipped to meet this growing need. Cuttington-trained personnel also serve as professional nurses, x-ray technicians, midwives and health counselors throughout the rural areas. Who's Who A roster of Cuttington graduates reads like a "Who's Who in Liberia." Included are a former president of the nation, its present vice-president and Chief Justice, its Ambassador to the United Nations, a president of the World Bank, as well as 50% of all doctors in Liberia and 99% of all the nation's registered nurses. Both the Methodist and Episcopal bishops in Liberia are Cuttington graduates. High Standards As a residential college, Cuttington has entrance requirements similar to those in the United States, including College Aptitude Tests and the General Certificate of Education. Even though its standards are high, Cuttington has more qualified applicants than can be admitted. Present enrollment is held to 350 students, with a projected five-year increase to 420. The Cuttington library is considered one of the best of its kind in all of Africa with 66,000 volumes. The Divinity School In addition to its other unique achievements, Cuttington has a Divinity School which graduates clergy who minister to Liberians and other Africans. The present Episcopal Bishop, a hereditary tribal chieftan, is a graduate of Cutting- ton, as is the present Methodist Bishop. The Unique Opportunity Cuttington, as we stated at the outset, is not just an ordinary church-related college. It provides us all a unique opportunity to improve an institution that already has much to commend it. Cuttington desperately needs $3.1 million to continue to serve West Africa, educate Africans from other nations who seek knowledge and truth in an atmosphere of academic freedom, and thereafter, expand its work. Liberia is America's oldest friend and the oldest republic in Africa. Africa represents a significant segment of the Third World population. Supporting Cuttington College in Liberia is an excellent way for Americans to underscore this friendship with our sister republic in Africa.

STEVENS OHIO Thursday, April 29, 1976, 8:00 P.M. Mark Hellinger Theatre LIBRARY The LBJ Memorial Grove on the Potomac Unique among presidential memorials is the park overlooking the Nation's Capital honoring the 36th President, Lyndon B. Johnson, who served in the U.S. Congress and the White House for 32 years. "All my life I have drawn sustenance from the rivers and from the hills of my native state I want no less for all the children of Amer- ica than what I was privileged to have as a boy," embodies the late President's thoughts on the environment, and is one of four LBJ quotations used in the Grove. The simply designed 15-acre grove of white pine trees, flowering rhododendron, azalea and golden daffodils with a large, roughhewn granite rock at the center is located along the Potomac River in Lady Bird Johnson Park in Washington, D.C. "It is my hope that with its trails and benches, its plantings and- bowers of trees, the Grove will become a people place. I hope, too, that its view-spanning the whole of Washington's skyline-will inspire visitors to greater citizen participation," Mrs. Johnson said when the site was chosen.

She was personally invited by Mrs. Johnson\nto attend. Following the performance will be a reception\nat the home of Mr. and Mrs. Krim at 33 East 69th Street.\nA guest list is attached. Because Mrs. Ford will have a\nvery busy day the next day and because the performance\ndoes not begin until 8:00, I would suggest that her\nattendance at the reception be little more than a drop-by.\n(FYI, Mrs. Johnson will be attending a dinner preceding the play\nat the Rainbow Grill. Although Mrs. Ford is specifically invited,\nI gather this will be mostly the Johnson family, former\nJohnson Cabinet members, etc.) Molly Parness is chairman\nof the evening but Louise Snyder is doing most of the\nnitty-gritty. Liz Carpenter is also involved.\nSEAL\nFORD\nLIBRARY\n-2-\nNOTE: April 29th has been declared Duke Ellington Day by\nGovernor Carey and Mayor Beam of New York.

Contributions are still\nbishop-elect of the Episcopal Church's Diocese of Massachusetts\nbeing received from both groups.\nand Mrs. Margaret Bush Wilson, chairman of the National Associa-\ntion for the Advancement of Colored People.\nIn case we have not yet heard from you\nAs the acting \"Board\" of Cuttington College in the United States, the Episcopal Church's national Executive Council does not have\nthe resources to mount a full-scale campaign throughout the Church in behalf of the Cuttington College Crossroads Fund. Direct solici-\ntation is, of course, being made of many groups within the Church, including the bishops, Executive Council members, Church Center\nstaff and others. We are also asking some Foundations to consider an investment in the future of free education in Liberia through the\nCrossroads Fund.\nOur decision not to have an expensive nation-wide campaign does not mean that we are not interested in receiving pledges from\nindividuals. If you are interested and want to help, we invite you to join us. Just fill out the pledge card printed below and send it to the\nCuttington College Crossroads Fund, 815 Second Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017. Your interest and help will be appreciated. Your contri-\nbution is tax deductible.\nCUTTINGTON COLLEGE\nTo assist in strengthening the educational programs of Cuttington College and in consideration\nof the gifts of others for this purpose, I/we hereby subscribe and agree to pay the sum of\ndollars ($\n) or to give the following securities\nor other property:\nPayments will be made over a period of\nyears beginning\n, 197\nCUTTINGTON\non the following basis:\nannually\nsemi-annually\nquarterly or as follows:\nSancle et\nSapienter\n(Signature)\nCOLLEGE\nChecks should be made payable to The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society,\n815 Second Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017.\nCUTTINGTON\nthe unique opportunity\nCuttington College\nCuttington is not just an ordinary church-related college! It is the only private\nliberal arts American-style college in sub-Sahara Africa, and therefore is unique\namong the world's institutions of higher learning. The college is located in\nSuacoco, Liberia, but part of its special nature lies in the fact that students come\nfrom Ethiopia, Nigeria, Rhodesia, South Africa, Uganda, Ghana\nand indeed\nother states near the east coast as well as the west coast of Africa. Cuttington is\nalso uniquely important because of its service-oriented contribution to its local\nenvironment, integrating education in all the traditional disciplines with the\ndevelopment of many skills and techniques.,\nOne example: Paramedical Services\nAn excellent example of Cuttington's relevance is the paramedical service\nprovided for 30 outlying villages within a 50-mile radius of the campus. Since\nCuttington has the only four-year baccalaureate nursing program in West Africa,\nit is the only institution equipped to meet this growing need. Cuttington-trained\npersonnel also serve as professional nurses, x-ray technicians, midwives and\nhealth counselors throughout the rural areas.\nWho's Who\nA roster of Cuttington graduates reads like a \"Who's Who in Liberia.\" Included\nare a former president of the nation, its present vice-president and Chief Justice,\nits Ambassador to the United Nations, a president of the World Bank, as well as\n50% of all doctors in Liberia and 99% of all the nation's registered nurses. Both\nthe Methodist and Episcopal bishops in Liberia are Cuttington graduates.\nHigh Standards\nAs a residential college, Cuttington has entrance requirements similar to those in\nthe United States, including College Aptitude Tests and the General Certificate\nof Education. Even though its standards are high, Cuttington has more qualified\napplicants than can be admitted. Present enrollment is held to 350 students,\nwith a projected five-year increase to 420. The Cuttington library is considered\none of the best of its kind in all of Africa with 66,000 volumes.\nThe Divinity School\nIn addition to its other unique achievements, Cuttington has a Divinity School\nwhich graduates clergy who minister to Liberians and other Africans. The\npresent Episcopal Bishop, a hereditary tribal chieftan, is a graduate of Cutting-\nton, as is the present Methodist Bishop.\nThe Unique Opportunity\nCuttington, as we stated at the outset, is not just an ordinary church-related\ncollege. It provides us all a unique opportunity to improve an institution that\nalready has much to commend it. Cuttington desperately needs $3.1 million to\ncontinue to serve West Africa, educate Africans from other nations who seek\nknowledge and truth in an atmosphere of academic freedom, and thereafter,\nexpand its work.\nLiberia is America's oldest friend and the oldest republic in Africa. Africa\nrepresents a significant segment of the Third World population. Supporting\nCuttington College in Liberia is an excellent way for Americans to underscore\nthis friendship with our sister republic in Africa.\nFor further information call or write the Executive Director,\nCuttington Crossroads Fund, 815 Second Avenue, New York,\nNew\nYork\n10017\n4/28/76\n10:25 am\nMRS.
