Happy Birthday Mr. President
President Ford observed his 63rd birthday Wednesday
with a report of "excellent health" from his doctor and a
surprise luncheon given by Mrs. Ford, who picked up their tab
at the restaurant.
The celebration will wind up with a family dinner at the
White House, about the time the Democrats in New York were meeting
to nominate their man to live in the Executive Mansion.
At the Sans Souci restaurant, a lunchtime crowd of several
hundred sang "Happy Birthday" to the President, who sat at a
table with his wife. The restaurant staff also sang "Happy
Birthday" as they brought in a cake.
Ford had his semi-annual physical examination in the
morning and is in "excellent health" according to White House
physician, Dr. William M. Lukash. Dr. Lukash told reporters
that all his findings "were completely normal."
Upon leaving the restaurant, the President was asked how old
he felt. He replied (on ABC film) : "I don't feel any older than
25."
Ford said (on CBS film) : "I'm delighted to have such good
company at lunch. I ordinarily don't have that opportunity. I
thank her for her hospitality: She's good company. She paid
the check, too."
Phil Jones asked Mrs. Ford why she took the President to
lunch. Mrs. Ford said (on CBS film) : "I wanted to surprise him
somehow, Phil, so I set it up so I could steal him away."
Asked if he found any uncommitted delegates in San Souci,
the President said (on CBS film): "It was not on my mind."
"They plan a family birthday dinner tonight which will
provide a reason not to watch Jimmy Carter being nominated.
Mr. Ford has not shown much interest in seeing his potential
rival's convention," Tom Jarriel (ABC) reported.
Jones said, "The Fords will have a quiet, private dinner
tonight with some of the President's favorite foods: corned
beef and cabbage and chocolate angel food cake. And who knows,
he might turn on the TV to see what the Democrats are doing at
Madison Square Garden."

"Tuesday night the President threw a curve ball to the
Democrats by appearing at the All Star game in Philadelphia.
The one upmanship for public attention paid off. Today, ratings
showed twice as many Americans watched the ball game as the con-
vention, and he was also seen by the largest baseball crowd in
Pennsylvania history, a state where Ronald Reagan plans to come
courting Ford delegates," Jarriel said. AP, UPI, Nets -- (7/14/76)

IRS Orders Royalty Payment by Oil Companies
The Internal Revenue Service said Wednesday oil companies
would have to pay royalties to foreign governments before taking
a credit for foreign taxes against U.S. income taxes.
The oil industry took foreign tax credits to reduce U.S.

for which data is available. AP, UPI, CBS - (7/14/76)
Olympic Controversy: News
Ford Says Canada Sets Dangerous Precedent
President Ford believes that if Canada is allowed to bar
Taiwan from the 1976 Olympic games in Montreal there could be
more trouble when the Soviet Union hosts the games in Moscow
in 1980, Ron Nessen said Wednesday.
"It is important when you remember the 1980 games will be
in Moscow," Nessen told reporters. "The President believes we
must think ahead to what that (Canada, as a host nation, barring
Taiwan in 1976) will mean in 1980."
"The President is weighing a number of is weighint what
response to make depending on the next step," Nessen said when
asked what Ford will do if the International Olympic Committee
(IOC) bows to Canadian demands that the team sent by the
Nationalist Chinese government be barred from the games.
The Taiwanese Thursday were reported to have told the
International Olympic Committee that they would not compete
under conditions offered, not even under a compromise plan for
them to march without any national flag. The United States
Olympic Committee has threatened to walk out of the games.
"From a purely domestic political point of view, it doesn't
hurt President Ford among conservative Republicans to be seen as
a loyal defender of Taiwan's right to participate in the Olympics.
But that does not mean that the Administration is backing away

WEDNESDAY
MR. NESSEN: Mrs. Ford wanted to surprise the
President for his birthday and so she wanted to take him
to the SansSouci for a little private lunch, and they have
just departed for the SansSouci by car for a private lunch.
It did come as a surprise to the President.
We arranged for a pool of four people to dine in
the restaurant at the same time the President was there ---
the two wire services, Bob Pierpoint for the broadcasters
and Muriel Dobbins for the writers.
The lunch is expected to take somewhere around
an hour and 45 minutes and I believe the President is
thinking of walking back, or Mrs. Ford is thinking of
inviting him to walk back, and so that will take place
somewhere around a quarter of two to two o'clock, somewhere
in that area.
Q
Is Mrs. Ford going to pay for the lunch?
MR. NESSEN: John tells me that he was over there
when the President and Mrs. Ford walked out to the car
and he heard the President ask whether this was going
to cost him anything. (Laughter)
Mrs. Ford planned this as a surprise treat.
She will pay.
Q
For the pool, too?
MR. NESSEN: No, I think the pool will have to
pay for itself.
Q
Is Susan going with them or just the two?
MR. NESSEN: Just the two.
Q
This is the first time he has eaten lunch out
publicly since he has become President?
MR. NESSEN: I think they did go to Trader Vic's
