FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SEPTEMBER 23, 1976
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
AT THE
PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE
PRESIDENT FORD COMMITTEE RECEPTION
BELLEVUE-STRATFORD HOTEL
11:53 P.M. EDT
Senator Schweiker, my distinguished friends on the
platform, all of you wonderful people from Pennsylvania,
Delaware and New Jersey:
On July 4th, I was in Philadelphia to participate
in our Bicentennial birthday anniversary. I came back
to Philadelphia today for a new experience. I didn't
come back to write history, I came back to talk about what
we are going to do to make a better America in the
next four years under a Ford Administration.
I don't know, because I have not seen all of
the polls, but from what I have heard, we did all right in
that debate, and when we get to the next one, which talks
about defense and foreign policy, we will do even better.
We have a turning point in this campaign. The
polls are going our way, the momentum is on our side. The
basic reason is that in the last two years, under most
difficult circumstances, we have done a good job for
America and in the next four years, we will do a better
job.
The issues are with us. The American people
know that we have established a base for a healthy, prosperous
economy. The American people know that we have achieved
the peace and that we have the military skill and the
diplomatic capability to keep the peace. They know that
we have restored trust in the White House. The American
people want four more years of Ford.
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware are key
States. We want to win those States, and all 47 other
States, and we are going to do it.
Thank you all for what you have done, thank you
for what you are doing, and thank you for what you are
going to do. We will win November 2nd.
END
(AT 11:57 P.M. EDT)
