I am Betty Ford.
1976 is a very important year for all of us
because it is a Presidential year.
All Americans should be concerned about
our government and its leaders.
We have an obligation to ourselves
and to our children to vote.
Saturday is the Presidential primary in Texas.
This is an important election, and naturally,
I have a favorite candidate, my husband.
I hope you will give him your support and your vote.
In a difficult period for America, President Ford
has started to turn the economy around, set a
sensible course for our future, and given America
dedicated and honest leadership.
His accomplishments say more about his leadership
than I can as a wife.
Think about the improvements in American under
the President, and on Saturday cast your four
votes for delegates pledged to

Mrs. Ford: Hello, I'm Betty Ford.
My husband and I don't agree in everything
and
it would be a pretty dull marriage if we did.
But one thing we do agree on is that everyone ought
to get out and vote on Tuesday. It's one of our
most cherished privileges.
And I believe it's particularly important for the women
of our country to be sure tand go to the polls
despite the pressures of work and family life.
Leave
(We have an obligation to ourselves and our families
?
to use some common sense and cast an important vote
Naturally, I have a favorite candidate in Tuesday's
Primary Election - - I think it makes a difference how
you vote.
But it would make even more difference if you didn't
vote at all.
We women are never going to get credit for all we do for
this country unless we get out and vote for the kind
of country that we want it to be.
This is Betty Ford, I hope it's a nice day Tuesday
but even it it's cold and snowy, I hope you'll exercise
your privilege to vote.

UNEMPLOYMENT # 1
(:60 Radio)
V.O. MAN:
Governor Reagan, it's well known in this country
that as unemployment goes up (Fade under)
V.O. ANNOUNCER:
An important part of Ronald Reagan's campaign is
the Citizens' Press Conference which gives the
people a chance to ask the questions
V.O. MAN:
Do you have any plans for full employment in this
country?
REAGAN:
Yes, there should be a plan, and I think there should
be measures to help those who bear an unfair burden
of the recession by being involuntarily unemployed.
But I think the long range solution is an end to the
40 years of the new philosophy of economics that has
told us we can spend our way to prosperity and that
a deficit doesn't hurt us.
SFX:
Applause
REAGAN:
The long range answer to the unemployment and recession
that beset us is to end deficit spending and balance
the budget.
This is the single cause of inflation and inflation
is the cause of the recession.

V.O. ANNOUNCER:
Recently, Ronald Reagan gave a group of citizens in
Conway his views on the roll of government.
REAGAN:
Politicians in Washington are slow in catching on to
something that people out in the states feel every
day. That's a reawakening of the American spirit of
independence and self reliance.
I think the people of this country today want more
than anything for government to get off their backs
and out of their pockets.
SFX:
Applause
REAGAN:
And I think they want government closer at hand, not
far away in the hands of a self anointed elite in the
nation's capitol
Some jobs only the Federal Government can do. National
Defense, for example, is one of them. But domestic
programs should be managed at the local level where we
can do the job most efficiently.
The closer the program is to the people who pay for it,
the more they will take an active interest in it.
Our need is for a government that is confident not of
what it can do for the people, but of what the people can
do for themselves.

INFLATION

Today, governments, federal, state and local, are
taking more than 44c out of every dollar earned by
the people of this country, and Washington is getting
the lion's share.
No nation in history has ever imposed such a burden
on its people and long survived, but even this
(Fade under)
V.O. ANNOUNCER:
Ronald Reagan discusses one of our most serious
problems at an upstate Citizens' Press Conference
REAGAN:
Washington's refusal to operate its affairs as you and
I have to operate ours, making income and outgo match,
causes the run-away inflation that we've known for
these last several years which is the cruelest tax
of all.
It robs you of your savings.
It makes a mockery of the stable-fixed income that has
been promised to retired citizens.
It is time for the federal government to adopt a
schedule for balancing the budget so that the people
know that the dollar next month will buy as much as
it did last month and the months before.

SOCIAL SECURITY
(:60 Radio)
V.O. ANNOUNCER:
At a recent Citizens! Press Conference, Ronald Reagan
talked about a problem of concern to retired persons.
REAGAN:
I know that some of you here today paid-in for months
and years into the Social Security Program, in the
belief that you'd have a monthly benefit check as long
as you live.
Now even Washington is admitting that there's a great
imbalance in Social Security.
It's been as badly handled as all their other money
affairs, but any reform must have as its first priority
the guarantee that those who must depend on Social
Security for their livelihood will continue to receive
their monthly check and that their benefits will not
decline in purchasing power but will keep pace with
inflation.
It is time for the Federal Government to adopt a
schedule for balancing the budget so that the people
on a fixed retirement income know that the dollar
next month will buy as much as it did last month and
the months before.

UNEMPLOYMENT # 2
(:60 Radio)
V.O. ANNOUNCER:
Here's another question for Ronald Reagan asked the
other day at a Citizen's Press Conference.
V.O. MAN:
For quite some time, 8% of the labor force has been
without work. The present administration is apparently
mistaken in its belief that the economy can correct
itself.
If elected President, what steps would you take to cut
back the persistent 8% unemployment?
REAGAN:
The private sector is the source of jobs and I believe
that far more could be done if the Federal Government
would explore the possibilities while we're fighting
recession, as well as inflation, of where tax incentives
could be used to persuade industry to put on more people.
But the only answer, of any duration to unemployment, to
recessions of the kind wé're going in, is going to be
the elimination of inflation.

FOREIGN AID
(:60 Radio)
V.O. ANNOUNCER:
Ronald Reagan was asked this question at a Citizens'
Press Conference he held recently in Whitefield.
(Fade under)
V.O. MAN:
Governor, we've been spending a lot of our money: billions
and billions of dollars every year on aid to foreign
countries. I'd like to know, what are your views
on this?
REAGAN:
I think that with our foreign aid we've been very
foolish. We're a great and a generous country and
we've done some pretty wonderful things that we're
not getting credit for.
I think that if our foreign aid over the last few
decades had been dedicated more to exporting American
know-how and telling them how to solve some of their
own problems, instead of making them dependent on us
It's like feeding a deer up in the woods. If you feed
him long enough he'll never be able to take care of
himself again, and that's what we've done to an awful
lot of people in the world.
And I think we need some more common sense in the
application of foreign aid.

An important part of Ronald Reagan's campaign are
the Citizens' Press Conferences which give the
people a chance to ask the questions.
V.O. MAN:
As President, how would you deal with the Congressional
Democrats who are calling for still further cut-backs
in Defense spending?
REAGAN:
Well, here again is where I believe a President must
take his case to the people. And, the people must
be told the facts. I think the people will not make
a mistake if they have the facts.
Today there's confusion. None of us are quite sure
what the situation is. We hear someone saying,
"Oh, they're just saying that to get their budget
up" and someone says something else:
But the one thing we must be sure of is the United
States must never be second to anyone else in the

GUN CONTROL
(:60 Radio)
V.O. ANNOUNCER:
Here's another question for Ronald Reagan... (Fade under)
V.O. WOMAN:
Since New Hampshire is a supporting state what
about your gun control?
REAGAN:
I am against the kind of gun control that is being
talked in the Congress of the United States.
I see it as only something that would make it difficult
for an honest citizen to own a gun, but would do nothing
at all to impede the criminal in his getting a gun.
I think the type of laws that we had in California
that we instituted while I was Governor, and one
that we recommended that now has been passed, control
the criminal in the use of the gun.
And to do this, we passed a law that anyone convicted
of a crime if he had a gun in his possession when
he committed the crime, whether he used it or not,
you can add five to fifteen years to his sentence.
I think this is the proper approach, but I don't
think you're going to serve any good purpose at all
in disarming the honest citizens and leaving the other
ones armed.

meet our energy shortage and to get out from under
the monopolistic control of the OPEC nations.

REAGAN:
But with regard to the safety factor, the truth is
that danger of a nuclear fatality in a nuclear power
plant is about one in 75 million.
The one accident involving a nuclear power plant for
the surrounding area is one in 5 billion.
I think the case has been made for the safety of
nuclear power plants, and I think we absolutely
have to have them if we're going to have clean air
and if we're going to have to add the energy this
country needs

STU SPENCER
Enclosed are three groupings of Texas delegates under
the following codes:
GF - President Ford
BF - Mrs. Ford - First and
JF - Jack Ford
It is our suggestion that if one will call the following
delegates in the priority order listed, it will be a help
in Texas.
The suggested pitch would be: The President will be in
Texas next week campaigning and he appreciates all they
are doing and hopes they will redouble their efforts in
their campaigns because it is a team effort. It is op-
tional as to whether you want to mention the fact that
they will be hearing from someone from the Austin head-
quarters on Monday about their programs.
