November 15, 1974 Mrs. Gerald Ford White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mrs. Ford: We would be honored if you would present some brief remarks to open United Cerebral Palsy's 24th Annual Greater New York Telethon to be telecast on the weekend of January 25-26, 1975. United Cerebral Palsy is the nation's only non-profit organization dedicated solely to help the more than one million Americans who are cerebral palsied, and presents this yearly public education and fund-raising appeal to financially assist its handicapped constituency. Your participation would inspiringly continue the array of personalities who have similarly opened our programs in the past. Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, Bob Hope and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt are a few of the previous participants. Your remarks would be taped, and this can be done at the White House or a TV studio in Washington, D.C. at a time most convenient to you prior to January 25th. We will provide a suggested script. In addition to the Greater New York area, our 1975 Telethon will be carried in Boston, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Chicago, Bangor and Poland Springs, Maine, Hartford, Manchester, Atlanta and Providence. The prestige and dignity you would contribute to our effort would enhance the ultimate success of the Telethon, thus assuring continued programs and services for the cerebral palsied of the American community.

Requested by Nancy Chirdon Room 208 East Wing ext. 2164 SPEECH FOR BETTY FORD Filmed 1/23/75 12:30 P Map Room White House "Hello, I'm Betty Ford, and I'd like you to meet two special children, Michelle and Kevin." Briefly exchange small talk and any questions Mrs. Ford might have. "Yes these are two speical children, because Michelle and Kevin have Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral Palsy is a handicapping condition--usually resulting from damage to the brain at birth, and the most tragic thing is that it doesn't go away. It's a lifetime condition. Children with Cerebral Palsy grow up and still have Cerebral Palsy. But, they also have thoughts, dreams, ambitions and considerably more of the same needs as everyone else. A lot of those needs are being met because there are ways of helping those born with Cerebral Palsy at any age. And so I'd like to ask you, your family and your friends to join Michelle, Kevin and myself and lend your support in this most important community effort. Support that can continue, but only with your help."
