CONGRESSMAN
GERALD R. FORD
DD
HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADER
RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TUESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1966
STATEMENT BY REP. GERALD R. FORD, (R-MICHIGAN) HOUSE MINORITY LEADER.
The Republican Leadership of the House of Representatives and the Minority
Members of the Education and Labor Committee believe that the scheduled meeting
of the committee this Thursday, September 22, should be open to the public and
the press.
Without prejudging the important questions involving the rules of the
committee, which are primarily in the hands of the Democratic majority, we feel
that decisions must not be taken behind closed doors in an atmosphere of "smoke
filled room." The questions at issue are not matters of national security, but
directly relate to public confidence in the conduct of Congressional busines3.
They must not be resolved by anything remotely smacking of a "deal" but should
be debated and decided with the full knowledge of the American people through
representatives of press, radio and television.
Unless the Democratic majority agrees to this sensible procedure, as we
hope it will, the ranking Republican member of the committee, Rep. William H.
Ayres of Ohio, will move at the outset of the meeting to put the question to
a vote of the committee.
