Remarks by Rep. Gerald R. Ford upon introducing Sen. William E. Brock at
Kent County Lincoln Day Dinner, 7 p.m., Feb. 17, 1972, Grand Rapids, Mich.
nearly
Ladies and gentlemen, our speaker tonight is a man I have known for a decade--
ever since he first came to the U.S. House of Representatives at the opening of
the 88th Congress.
Bill came to the House with an impre ssive background. He was a graduate of
Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va. He had served in the Navy as an
officer for three years. He was
a successful usinessman, and he had been
active in many
civic, business and political organizations.
He served with distinction in the House for four terms-and the people of
Tennessee recognized his fine record as a lawmaker
by electing him to the
United States Senate on Nov. 3, 1970.
Bill Brock was easily one of the most outstanding members of the House during
his tenure there, and he obviously is distinguishing himself in the Senate as
well.
Bill's abilities have long been recognized. He was selected as the "Outstanding
Young Republican" in 1963 and was named "Outstanding Young Man of the Year'
by the Tenne ssee
Jumior Chamber of Commerce in 1965.
Currently
Sen. Brock is
among those cho sen by the
Republican Party to
do missionary work for the party among college
students. The reason is he is not only an a ttractive person in every way
but he speaks the language of youth. He "knows where it's at."
Senl Brock is one sweet guy-and I don't say that just because he used to
be vice-president of the
Brock Candy Co. of Chattanooga.
I
give you one of the brightest young lights in the Republican Party
today the man of the evening the man of the hour Sen. Bill Brock of
Tennessee.
