Remarks by Rep. Gerald R. Ford upon receiving the Women's National Republican Club
annual "Republican of the Year for Distinguished Leadership" Award, Saturday
noon, Jan. 27, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York City.
Mrs. St. George, Mr. Vice-President, Governor, Madam Chairman, distinguished
guests and friends:
I accept this award most humbly but with a deep feeling of appreciation. I
accept it not for myself but on behalf of all 187 Republican members of the House
of Representatives who, like you, are building toward a glorious Republican
victory in 1968.
It is fitting, I believe, that your annual accolade be bestowed this year
upon Republican members of the House because--and I note this most proudly--the
great Republican resurgence in 1966 was reflected most prominently in the net
gain of 47 GOP seats in the House. Now the magic number is 31--the number of
seats Republicans need to control the House--and we're shooting for it with all
the ammunition we can find, and that's a-plenty.
Speaking of the Republicans newly elected to the House in 1966 puts me in
mind of the very auspicious start House Republicans made at an orientation
session for new members just before the start of the first session, 90th Congress.
The freshmen had gathered to get some advice from members of the House Republican
leadership. Naturally, there was much enthusiastic talk, flushed as we all
were with the spirit of victory. The next day there was a story on our meetings
in the New York Times. In one of those slips that pass in the type, the Times
described me as "happily clucking over" my "new broad." My wife, Betty, didn't
particularly appreciate the "typo," of course, but everybody else got a big
boot out of it.
My new brood did just fine in the first session of the 90th Congress. In
fact, House Republicans by and large rang up a record which put Lyndon Johnson
into a corner he is squirming to get out of. We will be forcing him to make many
more fancy turns in 1968. But he's an expert at going in all directions at once,
and so we'll have a big job just exposing him to the public
uncovering all of
his credibility gaps.
The House Republican Leadership, I believe, turned the country in a New
Direction last year. It's not a full turn yet, but we hope to get the country
fully turned on for Republicans next November.
Now the Democratic orators are beginning to trot out their tired old
campaign rhetoric of prior years. They're mighty worried. They know the Gallup
FORD
Poll found in November that for the first time in 10 years the voters look upon
the Republican Party as better able to deal with the country's critical problems

than the Democratic Party. They know that many of the Nation's young men and
women who might have registered as Democrats 10 or 20 years ago are now joining
the Republican Party. They know that our Republican governors--and they're in
the majority--are intelligent, articulate and highly attractive to the voters.
They know there's a new breed of Republicans in Congress today-=pragmatic
problem-solvers who are offering fresh solutions for the old problems that the
Democrats have been unable to lick, warriowsswith new weapons for an attack on
the ancient enemies of poverty, ignorance, and fear.
There is vast opportunity in the Republican Party today. It has become a
party of "yea-sayers."
That is why I am pleased and proud to accept this award in the name of all
the Republican members of the House, a group of fighters against Lyndon Johnson's
status quo of higher spending, higher prices and higher taxes. I believe this
award this year is symbolic of victory. That's why I say to you...we're going
to win in '68. Thank you.

The Jane H. Todd Memorial Scholarship will offer educational oppor-
tunity to qualified women for study in the several units of The State Uni-
versity of New York in the field of political science and government. The
Scholarships are to be awarded annually without regard to race, religion
or political affiliation.
"The establishment of The Jane H. Todd Memorial Scholarship Fund
is a noteworthy step in the encouragement of young women to develop to
the fullest their intellectual and career capacities. The Fund deserves the
support of all, especially those who recall and wish to honor the character
and achievements of the outstanding woman for whom it is named. The
State University of New York is privileged to be the means of furthering
the education of young women of ability through the possibilities of The
Jane H. Todd Memorial Scholarships."
SAMUEL B. GOULD,
Chancellor of
The State University of New York
THOSE WHO KNEW AND WORKED WITH JANE TODD
"Her career is an example to all citizens who devote their strength to the high calling of politics and government."
HONORABLE DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER
"Jane Todd made a contribution beyond measure to the cause of good government. Her career added lustre to the
record of all women in public life-and influenced importantly my own course in public service. I am delighted
that a Memorial Scholarship will help perpetuate her principles and dedication."
GOVERNOR NELSON A. ROCKEFELLER
"Jane Todd did something very special. She led men and women into working and believing hard enough to
give of themselves."
HONORABLE THOMAS E. DEWEY
"When you knew her, you learned of her warmth, and humor and thoughtfulness. And when you worked with her
you discovered her keen mind and breadth of vision. I am fortunate that I knew all of these qualities of Jane
Todd, whose friendship made my life richer and happier than before."
BERTHA S. ADKINS
"All women are in debt to Jane Todd. She, more than anyone I know, worked effectively in the public arena for
and with women. She was deeply concerned with their problems. Whether it was legislation for professional and
business women-nurses, teachers, beauticians and others, or for the prevention of injustice to women employees
by their employers in salary and wage rates, or the advancement of women in public office and in citizen responsi-
bility, she was a wise and loving advocate, a zealous and untiring champion."
HONORABLE MARY H. DONLON
"Jane Todd was more than a person. She was an institution. Her unswerving dedication to the high principles
which she followed through her life were an inspiration to the thousands of men and women who were privileged
to know her. It is particularly appropriate that a Memorial Scholarship be established in her memory as she was
not only interested in young people but served them with all of her ability and energy."
ATTORNEY GENERAL LOUIS J. LEFKOWITZ
"The Jane H. Todd Memorial Scholarship Fund. What better way to perpetuate the memory of one who gave
most of her life to public service, than to establish this Fund in tribute to Jane H. Todd. Her watchword was
good government and she was a splendid example of devotion to duty."
REBECCA H. McNAB
"As members of the Committee Mrs. Javits and I are particularly happy to commend the outstanding work of The
Jane H. Todd Memorial Scholarship Committee which serves a growing need in the nation-the preparation of
our young women for public service. It is only through organizations such as yours that we can hope to educate
our young people to insure that they will be able to take on the tasks of our nation. I urge you to continue and
as always I stand ready to be of any possible assistance."
SENATOR JACOB K. JAVITS
"Establishment of The Jane H. Todd Memorial Scholarship Fund is one of the greatest tributes we can pay to
the memory of the great Jane Todd. She served as an inspiration to many of us whose early years in government
both required and depended upon her guidance and encouragement. It is my hope that the women and girls who
benefit from the Scholarship Fund will strive to make contributions to our State and Nation equal to, if not
greater than, those of dear Jane."
HONORABLE ERSA H. POSTON
"By her example of patience, hard work, understanding and loyalty, Jane Todd earned the respect and admira-
tion of those who crossed her path. She pioneered in the field of politics and her example is an inspiration to all
who follow. Jane Todd left a rich heritage which will be shared by others who share her same interests. The
world is a much better place for her having passed through it and many lives are richer."
WILMA C. ROGALIN
"The Business and Professional Women's Clubs of New York State applaud this scholarship designed to equip women
for policy-making posts in government. It is a true memorial to our member Jane Todd who as State Assemblyman
and as State Deputy Commissioner of Commerce devoted her life to furthering good government and economic
equality for women."
LORRAINE M. ROUGET
"Jane Todd was a stalwart crusader, not only for a heightened woman's role in public affairs, but also for steady
progress in governmental reforms. She was a persuasive and inspiring citizen who never faltered in recognizing
the humanities as an integral part of good government."
ANNE W. WHEATON
"She was always very sure of her objective and pursued it relentlessly-whether it was the Equal Pay for Women
Law or the history-making Nurses Bill. These are only some of the monuments on our statute books which are
referable to her concern, imagination and determination.

WHO, LIKE YOU, ARE BUILDING TOWARD A GLORIOUS REPUBLICAN
VICTORY IN 1968.
IT IS FITTING, I BELIEVE, THAT YOUR ANNUAL ACCOLADE
BE BESTOWED THIS YEAR UPON REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE
BECAUSE--AND I NOTE THIS MOST PROUDLY--THE GREAT REPUBLICAN
RESURGENCE IN 1966 WAS REFLECTED MOST PROMINENTLY IN THE
NET GAIN OF 47 GOP SEATS IN THE HOUSE. NOW THE MAGIC NUMBER IS

CAN FIND, AND THAT'S A-PLENTY.
SPEAKING OF THE REPUBLICANS NEWLY ELECTED TO THE
HOUSE IN 1966 PUTS ME IN MIND OF THE VERY AUSPICIOUS START
HOUSE REPUBLICANS MADE AT AN ORIENTATION SESSION FOR NEW
MEMBERS JUST BEFORE THE START OF THE FIRST SESSION, 90TH
CONGRESS. THE FRESHMEN HAD GATHERED TO GET SOME ADVICE FROM
MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP. NATURALLY,
THERE WAS MUCH ENTHUSIASTIC TALK, FLUSHED AS WE ALL WERE
WITH THE SPIRIT OF VICTORY. THE NEXT DAY THERE WAS A STORY
ON OUR MEETINGS IN THE NEW YORK TIMES. IN ONE OF THOSE
SLIPS THAT PASS IN THE TYPE, THE TIMES DESCRIBED ME AS
"HAPPILY CLUCKING OVER" MY "NEW BROAD." MY WIFE, BETTY,

HE IS SQUIRMING TO GET OUT OF. WE WILL BE FORCING HIM TO
MAKE MANY MORE FANCY TURNS IN 1968. BUT HE'S AN EXPERT AT
GOING IN ALL DIRECTIONS AT ONCE, AND SO WE'LL HAVE A BIG
JOB JUST EXPOSING HIM TO THE PUBLIC
UNCOVERING ALL OF HIS
CREDIBILITY GAPS.
THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP, I BELIEVE, TURNED
THE COUNTRY IN A NEW DIRECTION LAST YEAR. IT'S NOT A FULL
TURN YET, BUT WE HOPE TO GET THE COUNTRY FULLY TURNED ON
FOR REPUBLICANS NEXT NOVEMBER.
NOW THE DEMOCRATIC ORATORS ARE BEGINNING TO TROT
OUT THEIR TIRED OLD CAMPAIGN RHETORIC OF PRIOR YEARS.

THEY'RE MIGHTY WORRIED. THEY KNOW THE GALLUP POLL FOUND
IN NOVEMBER THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 10 YEARS THE VOTERS
LOOK UPON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AS BETTER ABLE TO DEAL WITH
THE COUNTRY'S CRITICAL PROBLEMS THAN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
THEY KNOW THAT MANY OF THE NATION'S YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN
WHO MIGHT HAVE REGISTERED AS DEMOCRATS 10 OR 20 YEARS AGO
ARE NOW JOINING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. THEY KNOW THAT OUR
REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS-AND THEY'RE IN THE MAJORITY--ARE
INTELLIGENT, ARTICULATE AND HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE TO THE VOTERS.
THEY KNOW THERE'S A NEW BREED OF REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS
TODAY--PRAGMATIC PROBLEM-SOLVERS WHO ARE OFFERING FRESH
SOLUTIONS FOR THE OLD PROBLEMS THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN
UNABLE TO LICK, WARRIORS WITH NEW WEAPONS FOR AN ATTACK ON
THE ANCIENT ENEMIES OF POVERTY, IGNORANCE, AND FEAR.
THERE IS VAST OPPORTUNITY IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

THAT IS WHY I AM PLEASED AND PROUD TO ACCEPT THIS
AWARD IN THE NAME OF ALL THE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE.
A GROUP OF FIGHTERS AGAINST LYNDON JOHNSON'S STATUS QUO
OF HIGHER SPENDING, HIGHER PRICES AND HIGHER TAXES. I
BELIEVE THIS AWARD THIS YEAR IS SYMBOLIC OF VICTORY. THAT'S
WHY I SAY TO YOU...WE'RE GOING TO WIN IN '68. THANK YOU.

RAY C. BLISS
CHAIRMAN
December 22, 1967
Women's National Republican Club
Dear Friends:
The 47th anniversary of the Women's National Republican Club is truly
a most auspicious occasion, one which merits highest praise from all
Republicans, and I want every member to know I deeply appreciate the
inspiring, intelligent and loyal leadership the Club has demonstrated
throughout its long and successful service to the Party.
It has been said that there is a woman at the beginning of all great
things, and I believe "great things" are going to happen to the Republican
Party in 1968.
I believe this from the bottom of my heart because, in my judgment, no
political force has ever been conceived to equal that of an aroused group of
women bound together under one umbrella in a united crusade.
That crusade began early in 1965. It gained momentum in 1966 and
again in 1967. As evidenced by results of elections across the nation
during those three years, the Republican Party, through the combined

But let us not forget one important facet of those victories. In unity
they were conceived, in unity they were pursued, and in unity they were won.
We can make additional significant gains at all levels in 1968 if we
turn every wheel from now until the last vote is counted on election day.
But let us beware of being over-confident. Let us not repeat '48 in '68!

Dear Mrs. Finger:
The occasion of your 47th Annual Luncheon
on January 27th affords me the opportunity to
express my gratitude to the National Women's
Republican Club on three counts.
First, I want to congratulate you and thank
each of you for your devotion, dedication and
hard work in the cause of Republican con-
victions and beliefs.
Second, I want to commend you on your theme,
"Return to Reason -- Get Under the Republican
Umbrella." We have a unique opportunity to
elect a Republican to The White House this year;
and it is only by Unity -- all Republicans casting
aside personal prejudices and joining ranks to
support our Party's nominee -- that we will win
this 1968 Presidential election.
Third, and very personally, I want to thank you
for honoring my beloved wife by naming her the
first "Republican Woman of The Year". Without
Mamie, I would never have been given the honors
that the American people have bestowed upon me.
God Bless You All.
Sincerely,
THE WOMEN'S NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CLUB
presents this
FIRST
Republican Woman of the Year
CITATION
to Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower
AS we of the Women's National Republican club join all Republicans
everywhere in working toward Republican Victory this year, we
feel it fitting and timely to pay tribute to our Honorary Member,
ourgreat First Lady, Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Since Mamie Geneva Doud married Lt. Dwight David
Eisenhower on July 1, 1917, she has been called upon to gíve her
entíre adult life to service for her country.
For the unique role she has played in American history;
for her loyalty, integrity and strength of purpose as she quietly,
with humility and grace, through War and Peace, supported
her husband in his unparalleled and diversified role of
American leadership; for these reasons the Board of Governors
of our Club unanimously voted to confer the first "Republican
Woman of the Year" award on Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower,
Mrs. Republican of 1968.
Mrs. Eisenhower, we offer you our respect, our admiration
and our devoted thanks for eternally dígnifying the role of
Republican Womanhood.

THE WOMEN'S NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CLUB
presents this
Distinguished Political Service Award
to the
Honorable Gerald R Ford
CONGRESSMAN, 5th DISTRICT, MICHIGAN
IN recognition of his outstanding service to the Republican Party,
as Minority Leader in the House of Representatives since 1965.
He has served his Country faithfully in Peace and War, having been
on active duty in the United States Navy during World War II.
He was elected to Congress in 1948 and has been re-elected with
increasing majorities ever since.
He is an active Member of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in
whose Conferences his patriotism has been further evidenced by his
profound knowledge of Foreign Affairs.
We honor him for his calm strength that has proved him a
true leader. He has done much to bring to our Party the unity it
so greatly needs. His loyalty and courage have endeared him to
his colleagues and earned him the title of:
A CONGRESSMAN'S CONGRESSMAN
