FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OCTOBER 1, 1975
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(Omaha, Nebraska)
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
UPON HIS ARRIVAL
AT
OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE
1:32 P.M. CDT
General Dougherty and all of the wonderful
military and civilian personnel here at Offutt:
First, let me thank you all for coming out
and giving me such a warm and wonderful welcome. For that,
I thank you very, very much.
It has been my good fortune to come to Offutt
on a number of occasions in the past and I am, of course,
delighted to be here in this occasion today.
But the more important thing, as far as I am
concerned, is that I and 214 million other Americans
appreciate and recognize the important function, the
great responsibility that all of you have as a part of
our Strategic Air Command. We are deeply grateful for
the alert professionalism that SAC performs and, of
course, your headquarters here is the heart of this
great organization.
I commend you and compliment you for this
superb work that you do to ensure the peace and maintain
our national security.
Of course, it is good to be in Nebraska. This
is where I was born so I have a special affinity and a
very personal relationship with Nebraska. Nebraska is
the heartland of our country, just as SAC is the heart
of our strategic defense.
So it is nice to be with all of you. I wish
I could shake hands with each and every one of you and
give to you individually my best wishes for a good day
and a very happy life.
Thank you very much.
END (AT 1:35 P.M. CDT)
