FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NOVEMBER 1, 1976
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(Detroit, Michigan)
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
UPON HIS ARRIVAL TO THE
DETROIT METROPOLITAN AIRPORT
4:00 P.M. EST
Gee, it is nice to be back. It is nice to
be back in Michigan.
Within hours after I received the nomination
in Kansas City, I told Betty that I would open this
campaign at home. It is the best way that I could say
to my friends and the citizens of my home State, thank
you. Thank you for all that you have done for me the
past 28 years.
I said in my acceptance speech, the speech to
the American people, it is from your ranks that I come
and on your side that I stand. There is no place on the
earth where that statement is more true than among all
of you here in Michigan today.
I am the first son of Michigan to serve as
President of the United States. I am part of this great
State, its people and its belief in America.
You first sent me to Congress 28 years ago,
and in those 28 years my deep feelings for Michigan have
matured to a total loyalty as well as a deep love.
I come to you now to seek your support for my
election to the highest office in the land. I know you
will support me as you always have. May I tell you how
important that really is.
Someone once said you can tell a lot about a
man by the way his family feels about him. Michigan is
my family.
From the kids -- Mike, Jack, Steve, Susan -- from
Betty and, of course, from myself, thanks, from the bottom
of my heart, for your wonderful support, your continued
prayers and your belief in Jerry Ford.
Thank you very much.
END
(AT 4:03 P.M. EST)
