NE WON'T FIGHT IN A RICH MAN'S WAR
Gerold Ford, the chief representative of the capitalist class, will speak of the UNH Field House
of 7:00 PM February 8th. He'll brog about how his administration Is dealing with the most severe crisis
that the capitalist system has faced since the 30's. Like always the capitalists are trying to get out of
this one by shoving it on the backs of the working class. Ford put this straight out In his State of the
Union address: tax cuts for business - welfare and food stamp cuts for us, and Increased military

WE WON'T FIGHT ANOTHER RICH MAN'S WARI
Less than 0 year after their defeat in Vietnam, the U.S. capitalists are getting ready for war again.

Ford and the rest of his class don't have any solutions to out problems. It's the system they uphold
and defend that coused them all. Of course, you'd never hear the capitalists admit this. In fact
they're always trying to convince us that we're one big happy family. This year they're using their
200th birthday to whip up loyalty to them and their system. But more and more of us are seeing through
this bull.
On July 4th when the ruling class' Bicentennial hits in high point, there'll be thousands of workers
In Philadelphia taking on all their ottocks on us. Vietnam Veterons Against the War put out the initial

FEBRUARY 7, 1976
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(Nashua, New Hampshire)
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
AT THE
50th ANNUAL NASHUA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DINNER
NASHUA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
9122 P.M. EST
Thank you very, very much, Mr. Chairman, Congressman
Jim Cleveland, Mayor Sullivan, Ross Tait, my old friend Norris
Cotton, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
Let me at the outset thank Mayor Sullivan for
the key to the City of Nashua, to congratulate Mary Sullivan
for the wonderful recognition she has gotten for the long
and devoted and successful service to the Greater Nashua Chamber
of Commerce.
I am deeply honored of having the opportunity to be
here on this wonderful occasion, a Chamber of Commerce which
has done so much to make the Gate City the gateway to progress.
Obviously I wish to congratulate Sam Tamposi, your
1976 Citizen of the Year. I understand that Sam has
served not only your community but the entire Nation
by the example of what local initiative could do for Government.
The distinguished honoree has also done some
recent development in another capacity throughout your State,
but discretion suggests I confine myself to the achievements
for which you have already cited many. (Laughter)
I also am more than delighted to meet my former
colleague of a good many years in the Congress and a very
dear friend of many, many years, Norris Cotton, your 1974
Citizen of the Year.
I hope it is not inappropriate, and I hope it is
somewhat obvious, but I have come to New Hampshire to ask for
your support on February 24. But whether or not you help in
that regard, you have already given me great, great
encouragement by showing what Americans can do.
MORE
Page 2
In recent years when many leaders of communities,
large and small, voiced despair and turned to the Federal
Government to open its gates to solve local problems,
the Gate City opened its gates to traditional Yankee initiative.
You built a showcase of industrial growth, new jobs, new
homes, new hope for the thousands of new residents. Your
vigorous growth helps to tell the Nashua story.
Your community is highly productive and has
generated many, many new jobs. Your story is in the finest
American tradition of how local people can solve local
problems, of how individuals can respond to possibilities
rather than surrender to pessimism and how this is not
only the State of great stone faith but of granite
fortitude and of granite character.
All Americans from all 48 or 49 other States
can learn from your example of the can-do spirit and I
congratulate you for it.
As you join in the National celebration of our
Bicentennial, we are reminded by the historical archives in
Washington that New Hampshire was a can-do State from the
very, very beginning.
The first New Hampshire regiment fought from the
first repulse of the British on Bunker Hill, through Valley
Forge and Trenton to the surrender at Yorktown, your regiment
had the longest service record of any unit in George
Washington's army, a total of eight years and eight months of
strong tough military action.
The first warship to fly the American flag, the
Ranger commanded by John Paul Jones was built in your great
shipyard at Portsmouth, which we are not going to close.
If any State can take pride in the Bicentennial, it
is New Hampshire. And if any community can take pride in the
achievements of this Bicentennial year, it is Greater Mashua,
and I salute you for your thriving enterprise and
individual initiative as you day by day and month by month
build for the future.
What I like most about the Nashua story is that
you expose the Nation's pessimists as exemplified in that
fable about Chicken Little. You may recall Chicken Little
was hit on the head by a single acorn and then ran around
telling everybody that the sky was falling.
MORE
Page 3
The fact is that America has been hit on the head
by some very heavy acorns in recent years and recent months --
recessionary acorrs, unemployment acorns, energy acorns.
Just a : ear ago, I heard many fearful outcries that
we needed massive Federal programs, spending billions and
billions of dollars to save the economy, that a terrible
depression was descending upon us, that bread was going to
$1 a loaf and that unemployment lines would only get longer
and longer and longer.
MORE
Page 4
I was convinced that we had to 'take consistent
and balanced action, neither too much on the one hand or
too little on the other; the right step and not the wrong
step.
I knew that measures taken in panic would be
counterproductive. The proper response would prove, as
has been established, that our Nation is resilient,
resourceful and very, very sound, and we should be very,
very proud of it.
Make no mistake, things were not good at this
time last year. 1975 was the year of very hard decisions
and very difficult compromises, but it was alsoa year of
new realism that taught us something, something important
about America.
It restored common sense and the same time of
discipline that kept the New Hampshire Regiment in the line
through Valley Forge to final victory. The economic
discipline we have maintained is justified by the statistics
released yesterday. They reported that the unemployment
rate just took the sharpest monthly drop in over 17 years.
The number of unemployed is today the smallest
since December 1974. Employment has increased by two
million, one hundred thousand since last March, at the
bottom of the recession. Over 86 million, 200 thousand
Americans are now at work. Better than 92 percent of the
work force is actually gainfully employed.
We are today headed not only in a new direction,
but in the right direction. It is the right direction
because we follow the 200-year-old wisdom that national
problem-solving requires far more than a central Government
which promises too much and delivers far too little.
A free society, according to Jefferson and Adams
depended upon qualities that they called Republican
virtues, civic virtues, the ethic of honest work and local
control by local people.
During the recent years of very rapid change,
more and more people looked to Washington to solve local
problems. Too much was expected. Too much was promised.
Some citizens felt automatically entitled to a constantly
rising living standard without regard to their own efforts,
to their individual productivity, or their personal contri-
bution to the community and to the economy.
MORE
Page 5
Freedom is today misinterpreted by too many to
mean the instant equalization of everyone's social and
economic situation at the public expense through the
machinery of the Federal Government.
I pledge to you today that my Administration
will strive to deliver everything we promise. I will never
promise. more than I can deliver. The false premises and
false promises of years of social experimentation distorted
the Federal system.
Power was drained away from Nashua, from New
Hampshire and from every community and every State to an
increasingly centralized Federal Government, always
bigger, always more powerful, but not always more
efficient, nor more responsive, nor more protective of
our traditional freedom.
The patriots who built America understood that
poverty is abolished by economic growth, not by Government-
imposed redistribution of money. They knew that only
initiative and work could create a society with economic
prosperity and political participation by everyone.
They knew that local problems are better under-
stood and solved by local people rather than by the bureaus
and agencies of a distant, impersonal, central Government.
They knew that the pendulum of power must never swing too
far away from the people in every one of the fifty States.
If this year's Bicentennial is to be more than
a historic pageantry, we must restore to the people more
power to decide how their taxes are spent, how they live,
how they work, how they fight crime and how their children
go to school.
Should the Bicentennial achieve nothing else,
this alone would be a triumph for our heritage.
Despite our recent gains in employment, too
many people who want jobs still can't find them. Five
out of six American jobs are in private business and private
industry.
I, therefore, am deeply concerned by the
difficulties of various industries like the shoe factories
in New Hampshire. The Trade Act of 1974, which I supported
as Vice President and signed into law as President, pro-
vided the mechanism now activated to assure that our
American shoe factories receive fair treatment,
MORE
Page 6
I want such traditional American factories
to have access to every remedy provided by law and a full
say in their own destiny. To create more jobs, there must
also be a greater incentive to invest without the strangu-
lation of Federal taxation and red tape.
I am seeking from the Congress a reduction in
the growth of Federal spending accompanied -- and this is
crucial -- by a reduction in Federal taxes.
Let me re-emphasize, if I might, we cannot have
an honest bona fide tax reduction unless we put a legitimate
restraint on the growth in Federal spending. But, if we
are firm in our desire to restrain the growth of Federal
spending, which has been at the rate of about 11 percent
per year for the last ten years, if we just cut that growth
in half to 5 to 5-1/2 percent, we cannot only balance
our budget in three years, but we can have an additional
tax reduction over and above the one that I hope and trust
will be extended beyond June 30, 1976.
Let me add one or two other features about taxes.
My job creation tax incentive submitted to the Congress
this year would speed up plant expansion and facilitate
the purchase of millions and millions of dollars of new
equipment.
These incentives would concentrate in
areas of unemployment in the next 12 months. We must
create the economic climate in America to generate
productive, permanent and private jobs rather than
temporary, make-work, inflationary Government sponsored
jobs.
This week we have new evidence that we are
moving quite dramatically in the right direction. The
latest employment figures released on Friday show 800,000
more people at work in the month of January than in the
month before.
The unemployment rate is down from 8.3 to 7.8.
This is the largest reduction in percentage since 1960.
We have regained 96 percent of the jobs lost to the reces-
sion and most of it has come in the private sector,
where the greatest opportunity exists for future improvement.
The Nashua Telegraph is correct in saying
editorially that I want to create "concrete and lasting
jobs in the private sector rather than manufacturing styro-
foam cutouts which the public sector would have to prop
up artificially with public funds."
I appreciate that dramatic description of what
some people want to do, but which I categorically resist,
and I thank Herm Foliot and the Nashua Telegraph for those,
I think, very perceptive words. I might add with a post-
script, it was a very nice editorial.
MORE
Page 7
I also strongly believe, and have for sometime, tax
changes to encourage people to invest in their own future and that
of America. I want to give moderate income families tax
deductions or tax deferrals when they make long-term investments
in common stock.
I want as many people as possible in this great country
to be partners, however modestly, in the growth and the
strength of America. We must also preserve the vigor and the
continuity of the family-owned small business, family farm.
These enterprises are bastions of the real American values.
And I will submit to Congress the State tax
legislative changes to assure that a family business and a family
farm can be handed down from one generation to another.
Too much labor and too much love go into these
enterprises for them to be sold to pay Federal taxes.
Those who invest in new enterprises invest in
American progress and in jobs for their fellow citizens.
An example of job creation is the brewery opened here in 1970.
It represents an initial investment of some $40 million and now
employs, as I understand it, some 400 people.
But I hope no one will contend that the cure for
unemployment is to build Government breweries to brew Government
beer. (Laughter)
Quite honestly, I don't think the United States
Government could make beer for less than $50 a six-pack. (Laughter)
A very necessary condition for the success of your
brewery and all your other industries is the entrepreneur
spirit. This cannot be achieved if the Government is to go on
piling regulation upon regulation and stringing red tape over
red tape and assessing tax after tax to cover new
Government spending.
Such policies impose an inflationary burden on
business as well as the consumer, and I will never lead this
Nation down that road of stagnation.
The people are as fed up with the petty tyranny of
Federal regulations today as when patriots defied the tax
collectors over 200 years ago and threw the tea into the Boston
Harbor.

Some of you, I am sure, have experienced serious
difficulty at the not always tender hands of the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration. I know some of you would
like to throw OSHA into the ocean. (Laughter)
In fact, some of you couldn't be more upset with OSHA'
if Ron Nessen was running it. (Laughter)
I have studied, to be frank and honest with you, some
very valid complaints about OSHA and concluded that while everyone
is for safety and health in working conditions, many are
troubled by the manner in which this objective is sought.
Congress wrote the law, and we must obey it. However,
under my authority as President, I have appointed a new director
with specific instructions to deal with citizens as friends,
not an enemies.
I will not tolerate the unnecessary and unjustified
harassment of citizens. If this does not stop, I want you to
let me know.
Another indication that we are moving on the right track
is the Railroad Revitalization and Reform Act of 1976, which I
proposed to the Congress last year and which I was pleased to
sign into law several days ago. It upgrades railroad facilities
in a way that will keep our recovery rolling.
Your State is eligible for several millions of
dollars to improve rail service under this act, and I think this
is all to the good, not only for New Hampshire, but for the
Nation as a whole.
I am deeply concerned by an issue which has a particular
impact on older Americans, now retired, who have always paid their
own way. I refer to medical costs involving senior citizens and
their families who suffer ruinous expenses of an extended
hospital and nursing home care.
I have, therefore, proposed health insurance to cover
any catastrophic illnesses suffered by anyone covered by
Medicare.
I think most of us in our daily lives over the
years have known an individual or known a family where there was
a catastrophic illness that went on and on and on with the
costs and expenses which are impossible to bear. We have to do
something about this.
MORE
Page 9
Therefore, under the proposal that I have suggested,
after reaching the age of 65, no person will have to pay more
than $500 a year for hospital or nursing home care, nor
more than $250 for doctor bills in any one year.
But let me add this, while we must help those
who need it most -- and in the United States in this
category, there are roughly 3 million -- we can not realistically
afford Federally dictated national health insurance providing
full coverage for all 215 million Americans.
It is not only the cost but, as we look around the
world, the experience of other countries raises questions
about the quality as well as the cost of such plans:
In another most important area, the time is long,
long overdue for Congress to renew general revenue sharing
for the next five years. I have asked Congress some ten
months ago to act on this legislation to bring power back to the
people.
General revenue sharing is a program that I think
best exemplifies responsive Federalism. It provides assistance
to State and local units of Government with a minimum of
red tape and administrative expense. It returns Federal dollars
to your community or to your State. It permits local
officials elected by you in your respective townships or
communities to set priorities and to plan ahead to meet local
needs. And it doesn't require you to raise local taxes.
From the beginning of general revenue sharing in
1972, which was a real breakthrough, the projected total for
1976, the Nashua share will be between $4.5 million and
$5 million. Mayor Sullivan, you know how important it is.
The sums expended in this community, according to
the wishes of your local officials, provided as of last year
over $1 million, 600 thousand for public safety, including
police and fire departments, over $1 million, 100 thousand
for environmental protection, over $200,000 for health, and other
sums involving social services for the aged and for the poor.
Almost. $5 million, 200 thousand more would be returned to this
growing, this vigorous community by 1982 under the proposed
extension of legislation if Congress will move.
MORE
Page 10
From the beginning in 1972 through the projected
total for 1976, New Hampshire will receive $96 million.
Under the program proposed, which I hope Congress will act
upon, another $105 million of your tax dollars would come
back to New Hampshire between 1977 and 1982.
For many reasons -- people I have met here
tonight, the people I have met during the day -- I am
as optimistic about Nashua and its future as you are. I am
equally optimistic about the future of New Hampshire, in
fact all of New England, and I must add very quickly, all
of our fifty States and 215 million Americans.
Let no examination of inflation or unemployment
blind us to the genuine progress we have achieved within
the last year. Our economy is steadily growing stronger.
Our policies are designed to keep us on a very steady and
progressively better course.
The course is set for a new balance, and the
relationship between the individual on the one hand and
the Government on the other, a balance that favors
greater individual freedom and self-reliance.
We must also seek a new balance that favors
greater responsibility and freedoms for our State and
local units of Government. We must have a new balance
between spending on domestic programs and spending on
defense, a balance that insures we will fully meet our
obligations to the needy while we are also protecting our
security in a world that is still hostile to freedom.
The genius of America is its incredible ability
to improve the lives of its citizens through a unique
combination of Governmental and free citizen activity.
It took many years of excessive spending, com-
bined with a fourfold increase in international oil prices,
to create the economic difficulties of 1974 and 1975.
It will take several years of sound policies
and reasoned restraint to restore sustained, noninflationary
growth.
I will not make promises which I know and you
know cannot be kept. We must restore full strength to our
economy as quickly as we possibly can. But, in so doing,
we must not reignite the fires of inflation.
Escalating inflation, as we all know, makes
steady growth and full employment totally impossible. It
breeds instant instability and disruption.
MORE
Page 11
I strongly reject the view that the only way
to reduce unemployment is to accept chronic inflation
or rigid controls. We certainly don't want either.
Inflation and unemployment are not opposite but actually
related symptoms.
The way to treat the diseases instead of these
symptoms is by the use of proven remedies prescribed
throughout New Hampshire. The medicine of initiative,
enterprise, investment, development, growth and just plain
common sense taken together with the theory of good hard
work.
Yes, we see the results. Your unemployment is
lowerthan many other areas of the Nation; you must be
doing many things that are right here. I believe in the
example that you hold forth, the living demonstration of
what people can do to determine their own fate.
America's spirit is alive and vigorous here
in Nashua, and America's spirit is alive and vigorous
because of communities like Nashua.
Never let that spirit die so we can continue to
be proud Americans and proud of America.
Thank you very much.

Committee says she was "ex-
tremely pleased" to hear that
President Ford opposes abor-
tion on demand and that he
believes the Supreme Court
went too far in giving women
the absolute right to abortion.
Patricia DeGrinney this
week said Ford's position is
"considered the moderate
approach to the abortion
dilemma."
Her statement was made in
reaction to Ford's remarks
Tuesday in a CBS interview.
Ford also said he did not favor
a constitutional amendment
barring abortion but rather
believed states should have
the right to make their own
laws concerning abortion.

Susan will slide down Mt.
Cranmore, and hand out
trophies to winners of the
state championships, as
well.
Miss Ford is due here Satur-

trophies to winners of the

ficials say she'll attend a
reception for racers, then go
out on the town Saturday night
with David Currier of nearby
Madison, N.H.
He is a member of the U.S.
national ski team who broke a
bone in his leg while preparing
for the Winter Olympics.
Sunday Miss Ford plans to
ski the competition course on
the mountain before heading
south to join her parents.
Her ski jaunt appears to be
an effort by the Ford cam-
paign to blunt criticism which
erupted over the Christmas
holiday when the President
took his family skiing in
Colorado.

JERRY FORD HOPES
YOU'LL STAY HOME
THIS SATURDAY
What are you doing this Saturday night? Lifting a few
beers? Watching Mary Tyler Moore re-runs? Twiddling your
thumbs?
The President of the United States, Gerald Ford, doesn't
give a damn what you do this Saturday night. As long as you stay
home.
lle hopes you'll stay home because he's going to be right
down the road in Nashua kicking off his Presidential campaign.
And the last thing he wants is for you to give him a piece of
your mind.
If you're sick and tired of hearing Ford weasle on the
issues, side step the major questions and propose bankrupt
solutions to the economic crisis that grips the nation, then
join us at New Nashua High School for a massive demonstration.
We plan on gathering with patriots from all over New England
to tell the President and the national news media that the citi-
zens of this part of the country are fed up with elected officials
like Ford who serve only the interests of Big Business and the
Super Rich.
It's time for us to quit complaining and do something.
Take a few hours out this Saturday. Forget Mary Tyler Moore
and join us in sending a message to the President and his Big
Business pals. Let the rest of the country know that there are
people here in the Granite State who are capable of doing more
than just hanging out on a Saturday night.
Have the guts to stand up against the giant corporations
and their hand picked politicians. Send A Message to Wall Street
c/o Gerald Ford. It may be the only opportunity you get this
year.
Give a damn. Join us.
