US is biased in its support of Israel. Whatever's good enough for the Vietnamese is good enough for Isreal. Disgusted with the Hill over lack of aid for Cambodia and Vietnam. Pro equipment to bomb Hanoi; even atomic bombs. White House is doing a pretty good job. Keep up the good work. Concerned about the deficit. Constitution and Art. 1, Sec. 8 of Bill of Rights says Hill has the power to pay the debt. "When are they going to get started?" The domino theory is alive and kicking and operative. Support GF's position to decrease aid to Israel. US has deserted SE Asia. Con Israel not agreeing with the Arabs. It's terrible that the US government is getting involved in SE Asia when there are unemployed people in US. Disturbed that so little is said about the refugees. Can't the pressure be put to Moscow, Peking, etc. to help the refugees to stop this insane killing? Con SVN falling to the communists. If GF needs a volunteer, man will go. Indianapolis, Indiana. Pro aid to VN and Cambodia. Keep up the good work and get some supplies over there. Since Israel is the only democracy in the Mid East, we must keep our present policy there. Con military aid anywhere. Against violence to reach a conclusion to end a conflict. Appalled at HAK's press conf.; equating Vietnam with the ME. Hope the break in the ME negotiations won't cool US support towards Israel. GERALD R FORD -2- comments: week of March 24-28, 1975 Don't incite the Arabs. It could start a war. Con the tax credit on new homes. US shouldn't subsidize the construction industry. Veto tax bill. Sign the tax bill. GF can't have his way all the time. Hill has a closer idea of what's best for the US than 1 man as President. GF shouldn't go to Calif. and fraternize with Nixon. Con US involvement in SE Asia except for reconstruction. Hope GF finds the courage and wisdom to veto the tax b ill. Hill is spineless. Their legislation is a smoke screen to dupe the uninformed electorate. Pro aid to SVN. Concerned the US has lost its integrity in supporting its allies and friends. Firmly support GF. GF's chopping down the elderly on Social Security. We haven't benefited with a cost of living increase. HAK's putting pressure on W. Germany to give military aid to Turkey is deplorable and a subterfuge. Veto the tax bill. It's socialistic and ridiculous. Veto tax bill. Rebate to buyers of new homes is discriminatory. Object to spending billions of dollars on the B-1 bomber which is obsolete. USG should keep its word and support SVN. GERALD R. OF GERALD R. MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS: WEEK OF APRIL 7-11, 1975 AROA Pro helping more than the 2,000 orphans; more need homes than just the 2,000. Am pleased with Admin's proposal allowing savings institutions to pay interest on checking accounts. WH and Congress should read the Bible on Sunday and not work on US' business on that day. If they did that, they wouldn't have as many problems the other days of the week. GF's 3/27 comment that Israel wasn't flexible enough during the recent negotiations: it's absurd and irresponsible. Israel shouldn't give up the passes without an Arab delcaration of non-belligerence. US is wrong to pressure Israel. It's wrong to bring 150,000 Vietnamese orphans to the US. Stupid. GF should bomb North Vietnam since they can't keep their word. To let it go unpunished is to invite further aggression by the communists. Do all you can to make the Viet Cong release our missionaries in Vietnam. Vietnam is a waste, but GF isn't responsible for it. Con aid. US has a moral commitment to Vietnam but not to support the Thieu regime. No aid to Saigon till a coalition government is set up. Pro humanitarian aid. GF should make a peace pact with Europe. Con aid to Vietnam. GF and Kissinger should listen to the US people. Peace with Honor "Bah. Where is the Peace?" Get rid of Ambassador Martin. He's a bad influence. Pro aid but no arms. Con orphans to US. They will be able to get jobs that our children would be able to fill. These sick children could start an epidemic. It would be better to adopt some of our own orphans. GF wasn't elected by the Am. people. Let's start to think of the Am. people more and others less. Va. Beach, Va. woman has 2 sons. "They are not going to fight for this country if this is the way America is going to be run. No vote for GF in '76 from her family. -2- Week of Ap. 7-11, 1975 Save the horses and whales from being slaughtered. (Young child) Levi selection was a mistake. Gun control is unconstitutional. It's important for US to show its strong support for Israel. Pro aid to Israel. Don't push Israel into an agreement that would endanger its security. Why not send the US' celebrities on a Peace Walk to stop the killing in SE Asia? Pay more attention to the US fishing industry. We let the foreign fishing fleet fish too close in. It's repulsive to see a picture of GF holding an orphan when he supports a regime that is responsible for the deaths of many more orphans daily. Ashamed of what action US is taking in Vietnam. We have a commitment in SE Asia. Con Hill's attitude. Pro military intervention in SE Asia with equipment but not troops. Congress is on a spending spree. "I get sick of getting taken all the time." We must stop spending so much. The names of those who died in Vietnam should be given to the orphans who come over to the US. Con refugees to US on a large scale. A few is okay. US should provide aid, but along with support from other countries. Con military aid; no equipment. GF should send planes to Vietnam to get the rest of the orphans. Con coal mining legislation. US has no right to go to other countries and take over. We shouldn't bring orphans to US. We have some in the US who need homes. Continue efforts on the orphans; especially GI's kids. More orphans should be brought to the US. 2,000 is a token number. US should exert pressure on SVN govt to release refugees if we use our aid money as leverage. Pro humanitarian aid. Pro granting immediate citizenship to SVN orphans. GERALD R. FORD -3- Week of Ap. 7-11, 1975 Con gun control. Levi's plan would take away guns from the people who need them most. "I know you're having a hard time with the economy, but you're only human. You can't work miracles. Only God can." Patricia Virnich, Evanston, Ill. Con refugees from the Mid East or Vietnam to come to the US. Please get out of Vietnam and stay out. Get the Vietnamese people out who have helped us. US napalm hurt Vietnamese children. Did GF ever speak out on My Lai? Why isn't the US govt speaking out on behalf of Vietnamese/US war brides and illegitimate children of US men against recriminations? Don't go half way. Go back all the way to SE Asia with military and humanitarian aid. It's not the American way to go half way. In the US, we have thousands of Vietnamese war brides. When the communists take over, the families of these women will be tortured and killed. There are one-half million children of US men in Vietnam. No mention has been made of these children whom we owe more to than the 2,000 orphans. Object to GF extending the investigation of the CIA for 2 months more when the US has more important things confronting us. Congress shouldn't oversee CIA activities. Should not take hand guns away from innocent people. Go back to the death penalty, if necessary or build more jails. The US people should vote on the busing issue. It invades our privacy and takes away the parents' rights to chose their schools. Reagan is right about Vietnam. Land the Marines in North Vietnam til NVN decides to honor the '73 Accords. I hope GF decides to do something about the situation besides worrying about the orphans. Chatanooga, Tenn. Disappointed in GF because he is allowing the US to go into a depression. He shouldn't have signed the tax bill. Don't like his economic policies. "I'll work for Reagan.' Concerned Vietnamese Citizens of Hawaii wanted GF to help get their families out of Vietnam. GERALD Bring back captured missionaries from Vietnam. R. FORD GERALD P -4- Week of Ap. 7-11, 1975 FORD Con Hathaway to Interior. I want someone more environmentally concerned. Re: Jackson comment that US made secret agreements with NVN; It's probably true. If so, GF should tell us what the agree- ments are. McLean, Va. Committee Concerned for Vietnamese Lives, Minneapolis, Minn. Urging open immigration for the Vietnamese to the US as soon as possible. Ask GF to prevail upon Thieu to let the Vietnamese to come to the US. Without regard to government, military, or political position, we're in favor or humanitarian aid. Take steps to insure in the future that the currency and immigration channels are kept open so these families in Vietnam may con- tinue to correspond and maintain their essential relationship. Applaud GF/ Kissinger's efforts to settle the Mideast situation. Pro aid to SE Asia directly, but no US tax dollars should be distributed to international agencies because some money will end up subsidizing the Viet Cong and communists. Pro aid to Vietnam and Cambodia. It's our duty to help and we have the means to do it. Propose Saigon be declared an open city and all military activity would cease. Stir the conscience of world governments to save the lives of innocents. Happy Birthday to BF. Give a cost-of-living adjustment to wages, salaries, and assets. Wants someone highter than Butz to represent the US at Chiang Kai-shek funeral. Veep and Army Chief of Staff should go. We shouldn't insult our friends. Pro food air lift to Vietnamese people. DOD should use safe planes. Bomb North Vietnam. "Move the Congress out of a dead nothing." Put people back to work; make them earn a living. We shouldn't be a give-away society. Re: Vietnam, the US isn't a traitor. GF should showhis disapprovement of the 8 missionaries hung in Korea. Remove Kissinger. Disappointed with the way GF is handling his office. Detente is for the birds. We're going to give everything to the USSR. Con Rockefeller. -5- Week of Ap. 7-11, 1975 Why aren't the liberal Congressmen screaming about what North Vietnam is doing to South Vietnam? Con Kennedy. News media is one-sided. Do not help officials to leave Saigon till all the orphans are out. With the US' action in Vietnam, caller is concerned the US will give up in the Mideast on Israel. Con aid to Cambodia or Vietnam. Okay to send aid to North Vietnam. The CIA should assassinate Thieu. If the US withholds military aid to South Vietnam, then we have the moral obligation to evacuate everyone who doesn't want to live under the communists. Charity begins at home. "Leave the orphans in Vietnam." Where does GF get the nerve to do it without the approval of the US people? Repair strip mines. Detente is nonsense. Pro SOTW. It's a matter of national pride in SE Asia. Congress is stupid. Support the CIA. Disappointed in SOTW. No creativity in humanitarian aspect. Support SOTW. GF "earned title of 'Mr. President". Con GF and Kissinger saying South Vietnam's problems are the Congress' fault. It's the fault of SVN not fighting. Kissinger, resign. Change SE Asia policies. Recognize Taiwan. Con SOTW. "Don't insult our hearts and minds anymore with your speech tonight." US shouldn't support a government (S. Korea) who executes missionaries. NOTE: A group of William and Mary students raised atleast $600 to donate to Vietnam refugee relief. Con Kennerly going to Vietnam to assess the situation. Who is Kennerly to give his assessment? GERALD LIBRARY R. FORD -6- Week of Ap. 7-11, 1975 Con immigration standards being lowered to let foreigners into the US. Save South Vietnam; back them up. It's a shame to let the communists kill them. GF should stand up to the Congress. GF's doing a pretty good job; is pretty honest. Bomb North Vietnam. Declare war on North Vietnam. Protest against Rumsfeld's behavior on Mike Douglas show. "He was extremely rude to other guests and behaved in an egotistical and self-serving manner." Con Thomas Meskill appointment to US 2nd Court of Appeals. GF should appeal to the public to make voluntary contributions to Vietnam; then, to be turned over to an international organization for distribution. Re: $50 to every Social Security recipient: give more to those on SS who need it more. Some don't need it; they should waive it or donate it to Vietnam relief. Congress should pass an act that Social Security recipients with a certain income ($20,000-25,000) shouldn't get a cost-of-living increase. Therefore, relieving the young people of the tremendous debt we've built up. Strong opposition to closing the military commissaries. The whole Indochina issue is a lost cause. Re: SOTW; "Atlast a President with more guts than Harry Truman." God bless the President. SOTW was the greatest speech in 20 years. Con SOTW. Jewish immigration wasn't from quiet diplomacy but protest. Con US/USSR trade agreement. It has cost us money. SOTW was very good, straightforward. If we use troops in Vietnam, we should go to Hanoi instead of the periphery. Pro SOTW. Hope Congress will act speedily to carry out his requests. If GF needs volunteers to police the action in SE Asia, "I'll go. Can't stand this stupid man, GF. He's a little playboy. Con military aid. Enough is enough. GERALD R. FORD -7- Week of Ap. 7-11, 1975 GF's doing a remarkable job. Pro GF's foreign policy stand on Vietnam and Cambodia. Congress shouldn't have the sole authority of governing what GF does---abroad and at home. Against media bias. In order to save energy, driver's licenses should be issued at 18 yrs. and over. Pro SE Asian policies but show the same concern for Israel. Support the CIA and FBI. Bomb Hanoi and mine Haiphong Harbor. No one has introduced a resolution to condemn North Vietnam. It's a shame. Someone should do it. Hope US embassies in Vietnam and Cambodia are closed. Don't use personnel as pawns to get involved. Kissinger should resign. Replace him with George Ball. Re: SOTW; the Congress is made up of men too little for their jobs. US should get Turkey to stop growing poppies. Cut off aid to Turkey because of the drug situation. GERALD Have someone tell Carl Albert to keep awake on TV. R. Pro SOTW. Fight communism. FORD SOTW speech was dispicable. Dreadful speech. Warlike. US' 1st moral commitment is to the people in the US hungry and jobless. Concern over polling proceedures (pollsters). Feel they don't reflect public opinion. We are thrilled with SOTW and approve of your policies. We hope Congress will get with it promptly. Strongly oppose any aid of any kind overseas. If Kissinger's credibility is so low that Israel won't listen to him, then he should resign. We shouldn't let the communists take over SE Asia. Fight in Vietnam; for it will spread throughout SE Asia soon if we don't stop them. Agree that US' credibility in the world is zero. We should -8- Week of Ap. 7-11, 1975 uplift our allies. Con military aid. Humanitarian aid is a waste. I agree with your points on the CIA. SOTW was a superb try; supremely American in tone. We should've been in and out of Vietnam and Cambodia 15 years ago. Dismayed and upset GF made no reference that US has a strong commitment to Israel. Pro SOTW. The actions of the Democratic leaders in Congress are not in the best interests of the US. Indochina threatens US' security in the long run. It's a stain on our national honor. We are losing a tremendous amount of face in Asia. Con SOTW. Unrealistic. GF is incompetent as President. 100% support of GF. GERALD R. TRUSTY FORD MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS: WEEK OF APRIL 14-18,1975 Con tax rebate. "It's peanuts. What does he think he's doing?" Lon Nol should resign. Get the gold Thieu and Lon Nol have absconded with from the US. That money should be used to help the Vietnamese. Get US personnel out of Vietnam. Give every possible aid including military. If we had given it before now, most of the tragedy wouldn't have happened. Pro Rockefeller 100%. US should go into Vietnam with the Marines. Get Thieu out. Get South Vietnam's morale up. Evacuate all US personnel immediately. Con military aid or troops to Vietnam. Pro humanitarian aid. Fully support military or economic aid to Vietnam and use GERALD troops as well. R. Nat'l Farmer's Assoc., Utah Pres., concerned with a veto FORD of the farm legislation. If GF does veto it, the farmers will go into the food destruction business nationwide. Con Vietnamese refugees to US. Overpopulation. Con continued involvement in Indochina. Let us abandon forever military and economic assistance domination of Asiatic nations. Listened to SOTW with great pride and support him 100% on all counts. If GF wants to salvage SE Asia, he should advice Moscow and Peking that if the offensive doesn't stop, he'll cancel Brezhnev's visit to US and GF's to PRC. McGovern has no right to negotiate with the PLO. I don't believe we are living up to the Peace Accords, our commitments. No Pres. or State Dept. will be able to sign any agreement. Send babies back to Vietnam. I came from a foreign country. They are full of disease. Help your own people. Get our people out of there. Originally from Hungary and West Germany; now from New Mexico. Social Concern Committee for Unitarian Society of Pomona Valley, Calif. Urge GF to cut off all military funding and remove all Americans immediately to remove the necessity for using military forces. -2- Week of: April 14-18, 1975 GF might make a public appeal to support economically Vietnam-- and other friendly countries to extend aid as well. Thieu should resign. Retirement should be lowered to 50 for women and 60 for men so the elderly can have more years to enjoy and it would create more jobs for the young. Send troops to Vietnam. Believes in the domino theory. Is willing to go back. Viet vet. Con bringing Vietnam officials to US. Pro orphans to US if it's a limited number. The US is tired of being slaves to foreign people. US shouldn't send troops to Vietnam to get US personnel out of there. GF made his greatest speech. Pro GF. A fund should be organized to send contributions for military aid to South Vietnam from those who support such a venture. No humanitarian aid unless military aid is sent. Support SVN. Cut back the Defense budget. We have more bombs than we need. Con US sending enriched uranium to South Africa. Congress should only be in office for 8 years like a President, instead of staying in for 30-40 years. GF should lay the blame where it belongs Congress. Pro eco- nomic and military aid to SE Asia. Bomb North Vietnam. US should give any and all aid necessary to SE Asia; troops, etc. We MUST keep our good word. Con GF statement to DAR about US' action there. We didn't keep our word. Once we lose our faith or give it away, we can't get it back. I can't believe the US is going to let Cambodia be a bloodbath. Pro military aid to Cambodia. Con the proposed consumer protection agency. GERALD R. Con any aid to SE Asia. GF: "Get out of the clouds and get back into reality." FORD We are obliged to get the refugees out of Vietnam. They have helped us and now aren't safe. Hello! Believe in the sanctity of life. Con Civil Service Commission report on abortion. Pro-life. -3- Week of April 14-18, 1975 Communicate with North Vietnam. Opposed to bringing refugees to US. Leave them there to fight. Con military aid to SE Asia. The US shouldn't be a salesman of military hardware. Opposed to military aid to Vietnam. Con refugees to US unless administered by an international organization. Con helping corrupt leaders and drug traffic. Protest the Civil Rights report against the rights of unborn children. Anti ERA and BF's activity in support of ERA. ERA causes nothing but anguish. Pro CIA. Pro GF. I think GF's the best President the US ever had. Evan Molho and Larry Swiger, Scarsdale, New York. Both 10 yrs. old. GF should go to Hanoi and take Billy Graham and Father Hesburgh with him. The UN serves no purpose. Help South Vietnam. There's no way to erase this stain of a lack of US support for SVN. Help the Vietnamese in SVN who have helped the US or have families in the US. Give Vietnam to the US so the US could put troops in. Then, GERALD when the US gets the communists out, give the country back R. to Vietnam. TORANT FORD At long last we are getting out of Vietnam and Cambodia. We can't do it fast enough. Con Military aid to SE Asia. Pro humanitarian aid. Con US intervention except to evacuate US personnel. Concerned with the elderly. We can't pay the price to buy the drugs we need. Medication is very costly. Dismayed over ERA. We think the 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights and Equal Pay Act of 1963 took care of this. Taxpayer's money shouldn't be used to push ERA. Where are these Vietnamese people going? We do not want them not in the US. GF's doing a fantastic job. Conn. man hopes GF gets elected in '76. US should supervise a compromise in Vietnam and Cambodia. Congress is messing up our policies abroad and should do what GF wants. Pro GF's policies re: SOTW. GF's done a good job. -4- Week of April 14-18, 1975 Kissinger is responsible for the mess in Vietnam. The communists gave back the POWs, moved their troops out of SVN and didn't attack SVN. The US violated the Paris Peace Accords. US should support Greece. Con aid to Turkey. Respect GF and pray for him. "I think GF needs all the support he can get. " What about a telethon to provide aid to arm the South Vietnamese? It would shame the Congress. GF is captive of Congress. Communists deny God. God wants us to love others and Him. GF should call on the US to support all nations against communists. Give all the aid necessary to defeat the communists. Return to faith in God. GF should go on TV and ask the nation to join him in repentence and faith in Jesus and God. Agree with GF that our lack of military and economic aid and commitment did contribute lack of success in Vietnam. GF's doing a good job. Get the US out of Vietnam. Quit playing politics. Concerned that GF is blaming others (Congress, etc.) for Vietnam. Do not "cast the blame." Turkey was aggressive. Therefore, Cyprus violated the law. Now GF and Kissinger violate it more by providing arms to Turkey. Against orphans to US and the cultural mixture it will create. Get US personnel out of Vietnam. US has given enough lives already. GF should do all he can to help South Vietnam; even if the Hill impeached him for supporting SVN. Pro BF on her cancer efforts on behalf of all women. It would be wrong to nationalize the Rock Island railroad or all of the railroads for that matter. Shocked that GF can hold off on humanitarian aid till Hill appropriates the military aid to VN. That's blackmail. Con GF saying Congress is responsible for Vietnam situation. It's not true. US has poor who need food and money. Vietnam will always be at war. GERALD R FORD -5- Week of April 14-18, 1975 Congress represents the views of the US more closely. Congress was elected; GF wasn't. Con GF making comparisons at DAR speech between US and USSR and PRC. The communists didn't lay down their lives as US did. US should give to Vietnam through the Red Cross, UN, or "Friends" organization for humanitarian aid. GF looks foolish by blaming the Congress for not appropriating money when so much money and many lives were spent. GF should get rid of the communists in the White House and in Congress. Con GF saying US aid cut lost Vietnam. Vietnam lost it themselves. Pro ERA and BF's activities on behalf of ERA. Con GF blaming the US and Congress for the fall of South Vietnam while almost praising USSR and PRC for supporting their allies. GF is blackmailing the Congress and keeping the South Vietnamese and US personnel hostage by not sending humanitarian aid till he gets his $700 million aid request. Con military aid. Get Thieu out of Vietnam. I fear GF may not be assertive enough on the Vietnam recriminations that may occur. Kissinger is a good man but has failed all around the world and can't be used any longer. PRC and USSR are taking advantage of US' lack of action in foreign policy. "I and 3 million other Viet vets have broken hearts over this. " (US weak stand on foreign policy.) Con orphans to US if we're going to let the communists take over Vietnam. Let them take care of the people. Don't let the communist sympathizers in Congress deter your thoughts on the action the US is taking in SE Asia. Hang in there with Kissinger. GERALD R.

Whatever's good\nenough for the Vietnamese is good enough for Isreal.\nDisgusted with the Hill over lack of aid for Cambodia\nand Vietnam. Pro equipment to bomb Hanoi; even atomic bombs.\nWhite House is doing a pretty good job. Keep up the good\nwork.\nConcerned about the deficit. Constitution and Art. 1, Sec. 8\nof Bill of Rights says Hill has the power to pay the debt.\n\"When are they going to get started?\"\nThe domino theory is alive and kicking and operative.\nSupport GF's position to decrease aid to Israel.\nUS has deserted SE Asia.\nCon Israel not agreeing with the Arabs.\nIt's terrible that the US government is getting involved\nin SE Asia when there are unemployed people in US.\nDisturbed that so little is said about the refugees. Can't\nthe pressure be put to Moscow, Peking, etc. to help the\nrefugees to stop this insane killing?\nCon SVN falling to the communists. If GF needs a volunteer,\nman will go. Indianapolis, Indiana.\nPro aid to VN and Cambodia. Keep up the good work and get\nsome supplies over there.\nSince Israel is the only democracy in the Mid East, we must\nkeep our present policy there.\nCon military aid anywhere. Against violence to reach a\nconclusion to end a conflict.\nAppalled at HAK's press conf.; equating Vietnam with the ME.\nHope the break in the ME negotiations won't cool US support\ntowards Israel.\nGERALD\nR\nFORD\n-2- comments: week of March 24-28, 1975\nDon't incite the Arabs. It could start a war.\nCon the tax credit on new homes. US shouldn't subsidize\nthe construction industry. Veto tax bill.\nSign the tax bill.

Their legislation is a smoke screen to dupe\nthe uninformed electorate.\nPro aid to SVN. Concerned the US has lost its integrity in\nsupporting its allies and friends. Firmly support GF.\nGF's chopping down the elderly on Social Security. We haven't\nbenefited with a cost of living increase.\nHAK's putting pressure on W. Germany to give military aid to\nTurkey is deplorable and a subterfuge.\nVeto the tax bill. It's socialistic and ridiculous.\nVeto tax bill.

If they did that, they wouldn't\nhave as many problems the other days of the week.\nGF's 3/27 comment that Israel wasn't flexible enough during\nthe recent negotiations: it's absurd and irresponsible. Israel\nshouldn't give up the passes without an Arab delcaration of\nnon-belligerence. US is wrong to pressure Israel.\nIt's wrong to bring 150,000 Vietnamese orphans to the US.\nStupid.\nGF should bomb North Vietnam since they can't keep their word.\nTo let it go unpunished is to invite further aggression by\nthe communists.\nDo all you can to make the Viet Cong release our missionaries\nin Vietnam.\nVietnam is a waste, but GF isn't responsible for it. Con aid.\nUS has a moral commitment to Vietnam but not to support the\nThieu regime. No aid to Saigon till a coalition government\nis set up. Pro humanitarian aid.\nGF should make a peace pact with Europe.\nCon aid to Vietnam. GF and Kissinger should listen to the\nUS people.\nPeace with Honor \"Bah. Where is the Peace?\"\nGet rid of Ambassador Martin. He's a bad influence. Pro\naid but no arms.\nCon orphans to US. They will be able to get jobs that our\nchildren would be able to fill. These sick children could\nstart an epidemic. It would be better to adopt some of\nour own orphans. GF wasn't elected by the Am. people. Let's\nstart to think of the Am. people more and others less.\nVa. Beach, Va. woman has 2 sons. \"They are not going to\nfight for this country if this is the way America is going\nto be run. No vote for GF in '76 from her family.\n-2- Week of Ap. 7-11, 1975\nSave the horses and whales from being slaughtered. (Young child)\nLevi selection was a mistake. Gun control is unconstitutional.\nIt's important for US to show its strong support for Israel.\nPro aid to Israel. Don't push Israel into an agreement that\nwould endanger its security.\nWhy not send the US' celebrities on a Peace Walk to stop the\nkilling in SE Asia?\nPay more attention to the US fishing industry. We let the\nforeign fishing fleet fish too close in.\nIt's repulsive to see a picture of GF holding an orphan\nwhen he supports a regime that is responsible for the\ndeaths of many more orphans daily.\nAshamed of what action US is taking in Vietnam. We have a\ncommitment in SE Asia. Con Hill's attitude. Pro military\nintervention in SE Asia with equipment but not troops.\nCongress is on a spending spree. \"I get sick of getting\ntaken all the time.\" We must stop spending so much.\nThe names of those who died in Vietnam should be given\nto the orphans who come over to the US.\nCon refugees to US on a large scale. A few is okay. US\nshould provide aid, but along with support from other\ncountries. Con military aid; no equipment.\nGF should send planes to Vietnam to get the rest of the orphans.\nCon coal mining legislation.\nUS has no right to go to other countries and take over. We\nshouldn't bring orphans to US. We have some in the US who\nneed homes.\nContinue efforts on the orphans; especially GI's kids.\nMore orphans should be brought to the US. 2,000 is a token\nnumber. US should exert pressure on SVN govt to release\nrefugees if we use our aid money as leverage. Pro humanitarian\naid.\nPro granting immediate citizenship to SVN orphans.\nGERALD\nR.\nFORD\n-3-\nWeek of Ap. 7-11, 1975\nCon gun control.

Only God can.\" Patricia\nVirnich, Evanston, Ill.\nCon refugees from the Mid East or Vietnam to come to the US.\nPlease get out of Vietnam and stay out. Get the Vietnamese\npeople out who have helped us.\nUS napalm hurt Vietnamese children. Did GF ever speak out on\nMy Lai?\nWhy isn't the US govt speaking out on behalf of Vietnamese/US\nwar brides and illegitimate children of US men against\nrecriminations?\nDon't go half way. Go back all the way to SE Asia with military\nand humanitarian aid. It's not the American way to go half way.\nIn the US, we have thousands of Vietnamese war brides. When\nthe communists take over, the families of these women will be\ntortured and killed. There are one-half million children of\nUS men in Vietnam. No mention has been made of these children\nwhom we owe more to than the 2,000 orphans.\nObject to GF extending the investigation of the CIA for 2 months\nmore when the US has more important things confronting us.\nCongress shouldn't oversee CIA activities.\nShould not take hand guns away from innocent people. Go back\nto the death penalty, if necessary or build more jails.\nThe US people should vote on the busing issue. It invades our\nprivacy and takes away the parents' rights to chose their\nschools.\nReagan is right about Vietnam. Land the Marines in North Vietnam\ntil NVN decides to honor the '73 Accords. I hope GF decides to\ndo something about the situation besides worrying about the\norphans. Chatanooga, Tenn.\nDisappointed in GF because he is allowing the US to go into a\ndepression.

McLean, Va.\nCommittee Concerned for Vietnamese Lives, Minneapolis, Minn.\nUrging open immigration for the Vietnamese to the US as soon\nas possible. Ask GF to prevail upon Thieu to let the Vietnamese\nto come to the US. Without regard to government, military, or\npolitical position, we're in favor or humanitarian aid. Take\nsteps to insure in the future that the currency and immigration\nchannels are kept open so these families in Vietnam may con-\ntinue to correspond and maintain their essential relationship.\nApplaud GF/ Kissinger's efforts to settle the Mideast situation.\nPro aid to SE Asia directly, but no US tax dollars should\nbe distributed to international agencies because some money\nwill end up subsidizing the Viet Cong and communists.\nPro aid to Vietnam and Cambodia. It's our duty to help and we\nhave the means to do it.\nPropose Saigon be declared an open city and all military activity\nwould cease. Stir the conscience of world governments to save\nthe lives of innocents.\nHappy Birthday to BF.\nGive a cost-of-living adjustment to wages, salaries, and assets.\nWants someone highter than Butz to represent the US at Chiang\nKai-shek funeral.

Okay to send aid to North Vietnam.\nThe CIA should assassinate Thieu.\nIf the US withholds military aid to South Vietnam, then we have\nthe moral obligation to evacuate everyone who doesn't want\nto live under the communists.\nCharity begins at home. \"Leave the orphans in Vietnam.\"\nWhere does GF get the nerve to do it without the approval\nof the US people?\nRepair strip mines.\nDetente is nonsense.\nPro SOTW.

Re: $50 to every Social Security\nrecipient: give more to those on SS who need it more. Some\ndon't need it; they should waive it or donate it to Vietnam\nrelief. Congress should pass an act that Social Security\nrecipients with a certain income ($20,000-25,000) shouldn't\nget a cost-of-living increase.

The communists\ngave back the POWs, moved their troops out of SVN and didn't\nattack SVN. The US violated the Paris Peace Accords.\nUS should support Greece. Con aid to Turkey.\nRespect GF and pray for him. \"I think GF needs all the support\nhe can get. \"\nWhat about a telethon to provide aid to arm the South Vietnamese?\nIt would shame the Congress. GF is captive of Congress.\nCommunists deny God. God wants us to love others and Him. GF\nshould call on the US to support all nations against communists.\nGive all the aid necessary to defeat the communists. Return to\nfaith in God. GF should go on TV and ask the nation to join\nhim in repentence and faith in Jesus and God.\nAgree with GF that our lack of military and economic aid and\ncommitment did contribute lack of success in Vietnam. GF's doing\na good job.\nGet the US out of Vietnam. Quit playing politics.\nConcerned that GF is blaming others (Congress, etc.) for Vietnam.\nDo not \"cast the blame.\"\nTurkey was aggressive. Therefore, Cyprus violated the law. Now\nGF and Kissinger violate it more by providing arms to Turkey.\nAgainst orphans to US and the cultural mixture it will create.\nGet US personnel out of Vietnam. US has given enough lives already.\nGF should do all he can to help South Vietnam; even if the Hill\nimpeached him for supporting SVN.\nPro BF on her cancer efforts on behalf of all women.\nIt would be wrong to nationalize the Rock Island railroad or\nall of the railroads for that matter.\nShocked that GF can hold off on humanitarian aid till Hill\nappropriates the military aid to VN. That's blackmail.\nCon GF saying Congress is responsible for Vietnam situation.\nIt's not true. US has poor who need food and money. Vietnam\nwill always be at war.\nGERALD\nR\nFORD\n-5- Week of April 14-18, 1975\nCongress represents the views of the US more closely. Congress\nwas elected; GF wasn't. Con GF making comparisons at DAR speech\nbetween US and USSR and PRC. The communists didn't lay down\ntheir lives as US did.\nUS should give to Vietnam through the Red Cross, UN, or\n\"Friends\" organization for humanitarian aid. GF looks foolish\nby blaming the Congress for not appropriating money when so\nmuch money and many lives were spent.\nGF should get rid of the communists in the White House and\nin Congress.\nCon GF saying US aid cut lost Vietnam. Vietnam lost it themselves.\nPro ERA and BF's activities on behalf of ERA.\nCon GF blaming the US and Congress for the fall of South Vietnam\nwhile almost praising USSR and PRC for supporting their allies.\nGF is blackmailing the Congress and keeping the South Vietnamese\nand US personnel hostage by not sending humanitarian aid till\nhe gets his $700 million aid request. Con military aid. Get\nThieu out of Vietnam.\nI fear GF may not be assertive enough on the Vietnam\nrecriminations that may occur.\nKissinger is a good man but has failed all around the world\nand can't be used any longer. PRC and USSR are taking advantage\nof US' lack of action in foreign policy. \"I and 3 million\nother Viet vets have broken hearts over this. \" (US weak stand\non foreign policy.)\nCon orphans to US if we're going to let the communists take\nover Vietnam. Let them take care of the people.\nDon't let the communist sympathizers in Congress deter your\nthoughts on the action the US is taking in SE Asia. Hang in\nthere with Kissinger.\nGERALD\nR.\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nApril 23, 1975\nMEMORANDUM\nTO:\nROLAND L. ELLIOTT\nFROM:\nPATRICIA A.
