FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OCTOBER 28, 1976
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(Cincinnati, Ohio)
THE WHITE HOUSE
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
The United States has the highest confidence in the
ability of the United Kingdom to overcome its present
economic difficulties. The British Government has taken
a number of positive steps. We are further encouraged
by Britain's decision to seek a standby agreement with
the International Monetary Fund. As I have already stated
publicly, the United States will fully support an agreement
reached between Britain and the IMF. As a matter of
general policy, it is the abiding purpose of the United
States to see the United Kingdom as a vigorous member
of the European Community, the North Atlantic Alliance
and other international institutions whose goal it is to
build a better and safer world.
