We were convinced\nthat after the terrible calamity of world war, a new basis\nfor global cooperation had to be established.\nThe world has changed dramatically since 1945. New\nchallenges have arisen. Almost one hundred new nations\nhave become United Nations members. The task of build-\ning a just and stable world order is now even more com-\nplex as the destinies of all nations and peoples have become\nincreasingly intertwined.\nYet despite changing times, United States support of the\nUN remains strong and determined. And your participa-\ntion in this Model United Nations Assembly reflects our\nuntiring commitment to help shape a better world for\nourselves and succeeding generations.\nI commend you for beginning so early in your lives to\nexpress interest in global affairs. And I salute your en-\nthusiasm to learn all that you can along avenues of peace,\nhumanitarian action and international cooperation and\ngoodwill.\nHerald R. Ford\nFORD & LIBRARY BERRAL\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nApril 28, 1976\nMEMO TO:\nFROM:\nELISKA BOB LINDER HASEK Elisha\nBob, could I please have 50 copies of the attached\nmessage for Model United Nations Assemblies.\nPlease return them to my office, Rm. 121.\nThank you.\n4/29/76\nMr. Parker:\nPlease -- and will you return the\ncopies to Miss Hasek.\nMany thanks.\nCatherine Finley\nMr. Linder's Office\nFORD LIBRARY it BENALD"
