Dr. Mildred Scheel
Dr. Mildred Scheel, wife of the President of the Federal Republic
of Germany, has been a resident of Bonn since 1969. No stranger
to the Rhineland, Dr. Scheel was born in Cologne, 30 kilometers
north of Bonn, the daughter of a physician and an American mother.
Prior to her marriage to Walter Scheel, Mildred Scheel lived
in Munich pursuing a medical career which she had decided on
while still a school girl. After graduating from secondary
school, she began her medical studies in Munich where she
accepted an appointment to a University medical clinic.
Following her father's footsteps, intending to eventually take
over his practice, Mildred Scheel specialized in radiology.
Long interested and active in the fight against cancer, Mildred
Scheel founded the Deutsche Krebshilfe (The German Cancer
Research Fund) shortly after the election of her husband to the
Presidency of the Federal Republic on the 15th of May 1974.
The Scheels have two daughters, Cornelia and Andrea-Gwendolyn,
and an adult son, Ulrich, from the President's previous marriage.
They also have an adopted Bolivian son, Simon-Martin.
While extremely interested and active in political matters,
Dr. Scheel manages to find time to pursue her interests in read-
ing, music, the theater and skiing. She is known as an excellent
hostess whose intelligence and natural grace are much admired.
The First Lady is not only well liked but regarded by those who
know her as a friend.

POOL REPORT/Mrs. Ford
Visit to Jagiellonian University Museum/Krakow, Poland
From airport, Mrs. Ford, Jack Ford, David Kissinger and escorts
were driven to the University in Krakow.
They were met at the entrance by Professor Karol Estreicher, Director
of the University Museum and Professor of Art History. Then, the
party was led through various rooms and shown various artifacts, including
instruments associated with Copernicus who attended the University.
Jack Ford and David Kissinger trailed behind in the cluster of officials,
security personnel, and press.
Mrs. Ford signed a guest book--and was presented a book on the University
and its collections- Estreicher, the author. The book's title--THE COLLE-
GIUM MAIUS. A stained glass seal of the university was given Mrs. Ford
for the President.
Then, Mrs. Ford was led into a courtyard where about 80 people were gathered.
Some of them were members of the Kosciosko Foundation (Polish-Americans)-
others, members of the Grand Valley College of Grand Rapids, Michigan
(Ford's home town) in Poland on exchange programs sponsored by the
U. S. Government. Mrs. Ford, I'm told, knew a few of the Grand Rapids
people. She chatted with them for about five minutes then left the
university, entered a car, and was driven away. Jack Ford and
David Kissinger walked in the street then--the sidewalks lined with
people- to the square.
P. S. Mrs. Ford was greeted on the stairs by Adam Strzalkowski, Rector
of the University--other members of the University were in the room too.
P. P. S. First Room--the corner hall know as Libraria or Corner Room--
houses scientific collections. particularly books, next large room--the
Common Room (with pews on either side) professors' meeting place. Next
two smaller rooms--inside a safe, the University insignia--including a small
gold globe from 1510 where the name "America" was inserted for the first
time.

JOINT COMMUNIQUE
Official Visit of the President of the United States
Gerald Ford and Mrs. Elizabeth Ford
to the Socialist Republic of Romania
At the invitation of the President of the Socialist Republic of Romania,
Nicolae Ceausescu, and Mrs. Elena Ceausescu, the President of the United
States, Gerald R. Ford, and Mrs. Elizabeth Ford, paid an official visit to
Romania on August 2-3, 1975.
The distinguished guests visited places of cultural and social interest at
Bucharest and Sinaia. They were given a warm welcome everywhere as an
expression of the esteem and high regard in which the Romanian people hold
their friends, the American people.
During the visit, President Ford and President Ceausescu held talks regarding
the present stage of relations between Romania and the United States, as well
as an exchange of views on a wide range of international problems of mutual
interest. The talks took place in a cordial and friendly atmosphere reflecting
mutual esteem and respect as well as the favorable course of Romanian-
American relations in recent years.
The two Presidents noted with satisfaction that bilateral relations in the
political, economic, technical-scientific, cultural and other fields have
developed and diversified in recent years in the spirit of the principles
inscribed in the Joint Declaration signed at Washington on December 5, 1973.
Reaffirming the adherence of their countries to the principles in the Joint
Declaration, the two Presidents resolved to continue to develop relations
between the two states on the basis of these principles, in order to promote
peace, international cooperation and the traditional friendship between the
Romanian and American peoples.
The two Presidents gave a positive assessment to the evolution of economic
links between the two countries. They resolved to continue to act to expand
economic, industrial and technical-scientific cooperation and trade based
on the principles and provisions of the Joint Declaration on Economic, Indus-
trial, and Technological Cooperation between Romania and the United
States adopted at Washington on December 5, 1973.
They noted also the importance of actions taken in recent years to encourage
and intensify bilateral commerce, among these being the establishment and
activity of the Romanian-American Joint Economic Commission and the
Romanian-U.S. Economic Council, as well as joint production and commercial
ventures.

The two Presidents hailed with deep satisfaction the conclusion of the
Trade Agreement between the Socialist Republic of Romania and the
United States of America, which represents a major contribution to the
expansion of economic relations between the two countries. The two
sides expressed the conviction that the entry into force of the Trade
