FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SEPTEMBER 12, 1975
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(St. Louis, Missouri)
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
AND
QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION
LAMBERT FIELD
12:32 P.M. CDT
THE PRESIDENT: The security precautions that
are taken, it seems to me that that is something that
shouldnot be disclosed.
QUESTION: Do you have any reflections a week
after that incident in Sacramento? Did you think about it?
THE PRESIDENT: First, I am very grateful for
the fine action taken by the Secret Service, that I was
not -- I really have not had time to think about it.
QUESTION: Those House documents, how serious a
matter is that?
THE PRESIDENT: Which ones are you referring to?
QUESTION: The ones that you have asked the House
to obtain, the House committee.
THE PRESIDENT: What we did there was to give
these documents to a House committee on the basis that they
would abide by an agreement as to what would be released
and what would not. Unfortunately, the committee took
action that did not coincide with the agreement that we
had with the committee, and as long as we feel that we
had. a good faith agreement and it washreached, than I
think that we have proper action in requesting a return.
QUESTION: Will Governor Reagan be acceptable
as a running mate?
THE PRESIDENT: We are all in the Republican
Party, and that will be a decision made by the Convention.
QUESTION: One question, Mr. President. Your
policy on decontrol of oil prices has caused much concern
among area service station dealers and, in fact, they
are afraid big oil is going to run them out of business
and are going to picket today.

THE PRESIDENT: Not under my plan would that
happen. We have requested the Congress that if there was
decontrol, that the Congress pass legislation which pro-
tects the independent dealer as we have requested legis-
lation to protect the small independent refiner.
The Congress has an obligation to pass such
legislation and, in the meantime, we are working with the
various majors to have them in good faith continue their
working relationship that they have with small dealers,
and I think they will.
THE PRESS: Thank you, sir.
