little I what u be you think
Everybody else is offering advice on your staffing and
future plans, so I thought I'd join the crowd. We have
often discussed some of the critical needs existing in
America and her government. These include:
1. youth in positions of top responsibility,
2. ways and means to broaden the party,
particularly through reaching young people,
and providing for their active participation
in the political structure,
3. providing the means for all Americans to get
involved in voluntary activities -- and an
active recruitment effort to get them
involved,
4. the great opportunity for unifying activities
inherent in the Bicentennial, and
5. in addition, I have become impressed with
some possibilities for the fundamental
restructuring of public education, specifically
through a national commitment to career
education.
Given your interest in these areas, I've met with
several groups of people, mostly young, who I feel are among
the most dedicated and competent anywhere, to put together a
basic proposal for your action. In putting it together,
I've tried to keep in mind that: a) it should be practical
and have a major impact over the next 27 months and yet be

MEMO TO: The President
August 18, 1974
THROUGH: Philip Buchen
In putting this through Phil Buchen, I hope he will
add his comments and advice. After you've had a chance to
review it, I'd like to talk with you in detail about it
and then perhaps involve some others. (Phil is my choice
since his closeness to you gets around the personal con-
siderations others may have about positions on your staff
or in government.)
I really think this plan alone would establish a lasting
and positive series of changes in the country that would
make the Ford Administration one of the best ever. Time is
short, so as soon as you're ready let's talk by phone or
I'll come to Washington -- the more I think about it the
more excited I become!
I. The White House Office
There should be a top level post in the White House
filled by a person who happens to be young -- a position of
substance with access to you. The youngest Counselor or
Special Consultant ever. (Whatever is the post, the title
is important.) Most of your staff is over 50 and not only
do you need a youthful advisor among them, but such an
appointment would say more than anything else that young
people are going to have real responsibility in this
Administration.
Such an advisor should have responsibility in three
areas -- youth, voluntary action and education, as well as
relationship to the Bicentennial. A professional staff of
three -- not necessarily young -- one for each area, would
be responsible for programs of action; the outline of each
follows. I have in mind the individuals for each, including
young blacks and women.
Youth
Ken Smith's proposal for a national conference of state
presidents of youth organizations (under age 18) is the
plan of action here. The 1,000 state presidents of 20
youth organizations -- an unprecedented gathering -- would
consider strategies for more fully involving young people
in the political process, as well as the overall view for
the country's next 100 years -- again in line with the
Bicentennial emphasis -- to be presented to you and the two
political parties for action.

MEMO TO: The President
August 18, 1974
THROUGH: Philip Buchen
Specifically they could consider:
- requesting the appointment, through some agreeable
method, of concerned young people to all the open precinct
positions in the political parties. With 50% of all precinct
positions open -- and thousands of young people willing to
do the work -- this step alone would have a truly fundamental
impact in revitalizing the parties. Further, such a step
would be as "meaningful" as you could get since county and
state chairman election, as well as candidate selection,
would be directly influenced by the precinct chairman. It
would, of course, be crucial to have our Party prepared to
move at once on this. If we do, I'd care to bet we'll be
well ahead of the other guys and perhaps finally get through
that the GOP should be the home of young people. Finally,
the attraction of young people to the GOP is the only way
we'll ever stand a chance of becoming the majority party.
- suggesting a Constitutional Amendment to lower the
age for candidates for Congress and the Senate -- thus
carrying out the philosophy and principle behind the eighteen
year old vote. Your willingness to lead the support for such
an action would again drive home the fact that you mean real
and concrete involvement of young people in the political
process.
- suggesting a Constitutional Amendment lowering the
age of majority.
In any event, the unprecedented conference would serve
to highlight all the youth related activities of the Ford
Administration and the good record, now obscured, of the
Nixon Administration in this area.
The office would also be responsible for constantly
recruiting good, young people for other government posts as
well as the standard liaison activities to youth.
II. Voluntary Action
Despite the original promise of ACTION, the talk by so
many officials of "voluntary action", the general agreement
on the great untapped resources of volunteers, there still
exists no means for the average American to volunteer
services to the country outside of the military.

MEMO TO: The President
August 18, 1974
THROUGH: Philip Buchen
In the spirit of the Bicentennial and the unifying
theme of your Presidency, we should construct a way to get
those people involved. Even more, we should aggressively
recruit people to participate. I learned in the campaign
that an amazing number of people are eager to work if only
someone would ask them -- and then have something specific
for them to do. President Ford should ask every American,
through his representatives, to go to work to help clean up
our cities, assist our disadvantaged children, help our
senior citizens, replant our forests, recover the use of
lakes and streams and to help in disaster relief efforts.
The list of needs is endless. What's lacking is a method
to channel the willingness to work to the work that needs
to be done.
A legislative restructuring of ACTION, a name change of
that agency and the incorporation of other interests into
the agency is needed so that some form of a "National
Service Corps or Americans In Service to America" is put in
place that can actively recruit, place and direct volunteers
of every age to the critical problems facing our country.
A change in ACTION Directors must be a part of this
effort.
The potential here for one of the first really national
activities by the American people with all the accompanying
benefits of unity and spirit is simply incalculable.
The people and the funds are already available in the
government and outside it. All we have to do is get prac-
tical and get some legislative changes made to provide for
national participation.
We need organizational nuts and bolts people, not
theorists and philosophers for this effort.
CAREER EDUCATION
I suspect you know more about the techniques of career
education than I do, but several facts are striking about
the concept:

GERALD FORD LIBRABY
MEMO TO: The President
August 18, 1974
THROUGH: Philip Buchen
- the country is fed up with its rigidly bureaucratic
educational system. When one out of every two children who
enter First Grade don't graduate from high school something
is desperately wrong!
- career education; going back to the basics of
providing a skill and motivation to a worthwhile career, as
well as placement in a good job, has amply demonstrated its
appeal to students, teachers and parents through the models
which have been tested and retested over the past 10 years
in a dozen states,
- a general concensus exists among educators that
career education is the best basic overall approach,
- few areas of governmental activity would have more
direct impact on the American family than a positive change
in the public educational system.
Specifically, the office would coordinate the drafting
of a major legislative proposal for inclusion in the State
of the Union message to implement career education on a
national scale using the existing educational dollars, which
we are told by those most involved in career ed would be
adequate.
An intriguing idea, suggested by Clay Whitehead, would
be to convene a conference of consumers of education
(students and parents) to assist in the preparation of that
legislation.
Certainly the educational community would be, by its
very bureaucratic inertia, our most difficult opponent.
But the only way to get it moving is by your commitment and
support.
This may be the best opportunity for major domestic
action of lasting value. Something must be done about public
education awful soon -- that's for sure.
SUMMARY
I have in mind a lot of good people, as you may have,
to carry out part or all of this plan. The most important
thing is for you to decide how much of this plan you agree
with. Then we'll get the best people and get it started.

This plan, drawn from a variety of people besides me,
is as exciting as anything I've ever been involved in.
We've tested it out with members of Congress, educators,
ACTION employees and youth organization leaders with
unanimous enthusiasm.
This plan is ambitious but the best part of it is
that I'm absolutely convinced that with the right people
it will work and work well.

age for candidates for Congress and the Senate -- thus
carrying out the philosophy and principle behind the eighteen

process.

In any event, the unprecedented conference would serve
to highlight all the youth related activities of the Ford
Administration and the good record, now obscured, of the
Nixon Administration in this area.
The office would also be responsible for constantly
recruiting good, young people for other government posts as
well as the standard liaison activities to youth.

MEMO TO: The President
August 18, 1974
THROUGH: Philip Buchen
In the spirit of the Bicentennial and the unifying
theme of your Presidency, we should construct a way to get
those people involved. Even more, we should aggressively
recruit people to participate. I learned in the campaign
that an amazing number of people are eager to work if only
someone would ask them -- and then have something specific
for them to do. President Ford should ask every American,
through his representatives, to go to work to help clean up
our cities, assist our disadvantaged children, help our
senior citizens, replant our forests, recover the use of
lakes and streams and to help in disaster relief efforts.
The list of needs is endless. What's lacking is a method
to channel the willingness to work to the work that needs
to be done.
A legislative restructuring of ACTION, a name change of
that agency and the incorporation of other interests into
the agency is needed so that some form of a "National
Service Corps or Americans In Service to America" is put in
place that can actively recruit, place and direct volunteers
of every age to the critical problems facing our country.
A change in ACTION Directors must be a part of this
effort.
The potential here for one of the first really national
activities by the American people with all the accompanying
benefits of unity and spirit is simply incalculable.
The people and the funds are already available in the
government and outside it. All we have to do is get prac-
tical and get some legislative changes made to provide for
national participation.
We need organizational nuts and bolts people, not
theorists and philosophers for this effort.
CAREER EDUCATION
I suspect you know more about the techniques of career
education than I do, but several facts are striking about
the concept:

MEMO TO: The President
August 18, 1974
THROUGH: Philip Buchen
- the country is fed up with its rigidly bureaucratic
educational system. When one out of every two children who
enter First Grade don't graduate from high school something
is desperately wrong!
- career education; going back to the basics of
providing a skill and motivation to a worthwhile career, as
well as placement in a good job, has amply demonstrated its
appeal to students, teachers and parents through the models
which have been tested and retested over the past 10 years
in a dozen states,
- a general concensus exists among educators that
career education is the best basic overall approach,
- few areas of governmental activity would have more
direct impact on the American family than a positive change
in the public educational system.
Specifically, the office would coordinate the drafting
of a major legislative proposal for inclusion in the State
of the Union message to implement career education on a
national scale using the existing educational dollars, which
we are told by those most involved in career ed would be
adequate.
An intriguing idea, suggested by Clay Whitehead, would
be to convene a conference of consumers of education
(students and parents) to assist in the preparation of that
legislation.
Certainly the educational community would be, by its
very bureaucratic inertia, our most difficult opponent.
But the only way to get it moving is by your commitment and
support.
This may be the best opportunity for major domestic
action of lasting value. Something must be done about public
education awful soon -- that's for sure.
SUMMARY
I have in mind a lot of good people, as you may have,
to carry out part or all of this plan. The most important
thing is for you to decide how much of this plan you agree
with. Then we'll get the best people and get it started.

MEMO TO: The President
August 18, 1974
THROUGH: Philip Buchen
This plan, drawn from a variety of people besides me,
is as exciting as anything I've ever been involved in.
We've tested it out with members of Congress, educators,
ACTION employees and youth organization leaders with
unanimous enthusiasm.
This plan is ambitious but the best part of it is
that I'm absolutely convinced that with the right people
it will work and work well.

SUBJECT:
Prospecting within National Forest and Park Lands
The only regulations on mining on forest service lands pertain to
activities which disrupt the surface, and therefore do not cover
panning for gold. No additional regulations are contemplated
by the Forest Service.
By statute, National Forest Wilderness lands are generally open
for gold panning; however, advance inquiry should be made in a
forest area in which such prospecting is contemplated.
Persons wishing to engage in prospecting activity within National
Forest Wilderness and National Park service areas must register
with the local Superintendent prior to exploration.
Gold panning in National Parks is restricted to Mount McKinley
National Park, Alaska; Glacier Bay National Monument, Alaska;
Death Valley National Monument, California; and Organ Pipe
Cactus Park, Arizona.
It is recommended that anyone wishing to pan for gold contact
the particular applicable Superintendent in advance.

FROM:
PHILIP BUCHEN P.W.B.
After learning that Jack and his friend would be
going to the Superior National Forest in Minnesota
and talking with you, I contacted Stu Knight. He
and I first contacted John R. McGuire, Chief of
the Forest Service, and he referred us to
James Torrence who is Superintendent of the Superior
National Forest and whose office is in Duluth,
Minnesota (218-727-6692). He indicated that he
would be sure the Ranger Station at Ely, Minnesota
did obtain Jack's trip plans and that the informa-
tion would be made available to the Secret Service
Office in Minnesota with a copy to the Washington
Office.
He also said that the Rangers along Jack's route
would be able to make casual contact with him on
each day unless Jack should deviate from the route.
Each contact would be reported back to me and if
on any day no contact could be made, I would be
so advised.
The Forest Service was advised to keep Jack's
presence in the Forest confidential and not to
make it apparent to Jack that the Rangers were
checking on his progress.
We will also be notified if the press in the area
picks up the story of Jack's presence or if there
are any inquiries from newsmen. However, the fact
that he is in the area may now become known because
he stopped in Cocotte, Minnesota this afternoon to
cash a check and a call came to the Secret Service

of further developments.
To confirm the schedule I gave you, Jack plans to be
back in the vicinity of Ely, Minnesota on September 16.
He will drive to Minneapolis on the 17th to return the
car he borrowed from Steve Bloomer and will be returning
to Washington on a NorthWest Airlines flight that night
which arrives in Washington about 8:09 p.m.

The President's son and his companion are out of the
Boundary Water Canoe Area and they are presently in
Bridgeman's Ice Cream Parlor in downtown Ely (it's
the local ice cream and hamburger joint -- pretty famous
in that part of Minnesota for a chain of ice cream stores).
They will keep their eyes on them and let you know when
they leave Ely.
If you need to talk with him he can be reached at home
at any time -- please don't hesitate to call.

Wednesday 9/17/75
9:15 Jim Torrence called with a little more information.
Jack Ford apparently came out about noon from the Boundary
Water Canoe Area -- at a different place than he indicated
on his route (he varied the route from what he had on his permit).
That's probably the reason they had trouble locating him.
He ate in Ely about 3 p.m. Checked out with the outfitter
about 4 p.m. Apparently left Ely about 4:30 p.m.
They assume he's on his way back.
Interesting note:
When he got his canoe and stuff from the outfitter, he gave his
name as John G. Ford, Logan, Utah; when he checked out with
the outfitter, he asked if he could pay with a check and the
outfitter said "Sure." The check said John G. Ford, 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue, and the outfitter didn't realise until the
ranger came back and checked with him to see if it was

I have checked with the Jamaican consulate, and any individual
who enters Jamaica for business purposes must have a visa and
a passport. Therefore, it is my recommendation that Jack Ford
obtain a regular U.S. passport and an entrance visa for his trip
to Jamaica on March 6. It is my understanding that the Jamaica
trip is an official business trip for his American employer (a
tourist company) and that he will be discussing tourist opportunities
with the Jamaica Government Tourist Bureau.
If you wish to handle this personally, please let me know. Other-
wise, I will attend to it.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
PHIL BUCHEN T.
SUBJECT:
Candidate's Report of Receipt
and Expenditures
Attached is the monthly Report of Receipts and Expenditures
which you are required to file with the FEC by July 10. The
report was prepared by my office in conjunction with the PFC
General Counsel. In order to simplify the reporting require-
ments, the PFC will reimburse you for expenditures you made
for campaign travel by Jack and Susan. Other than for these
travel expenditures, it is my understanding that you have
neither received any contributions nor made any expenditures
on behalf of your candidacy in June.
The amended election laws permit you to spend directly or
contribute to the PFC up to $50,000 of your personal funds
in connection with your campaign for nomination. Expenditures
must be reported by you and they count against the PFC's
primary spending ceiling. Contributions from you to the PFC
are reported separately by the PFC and are not included in
this report.
Recommendation
That you sign the attached report.

It's my understanding the President has paid personally for Jack
Ford's political travel.
You need to check to see whether or not that needs to be reported.
I believe there's a requirement that each candidate has to report
any expenditures he has made on his own behalf, and you want to
make certain we're in compliance.

January 18, 1977
MEMORANDUM FOR:
DOUGLAS BENNETT
FROM:
PHILIP W. BUCHEN
You have asked my views on the application, if any,
of 5 U.S.C. Sec. 3110 to appointment by the President
of his son to serve as a member of an advisory com-
mittee to a Federal Government agency. The appoint-
ment involves only attendance at, and participation
in, meetings of the Committee which occur a few times
a year, and it involves no pay for services but only
reimbursement of travel expenses.
It is my opinion that the statute prohibiting appoint-
ments of close relatives to positions in an agency
over which the appointing official has jurisdiction
or control was not intended to apply to this situation.
Although an advisory committee may be part of an execu-
tive agency, it is unlikely that service of a merely
advisory nature on a committee at its occasional
meetings, for no compensation constitutes holding of
a "position in an agency" within the meaning of the
statute. This view is supported by the provision
in the statute precluding payment of compensation
which an individual appointed in violation of its
other provisions would otherwise receive. This
appears to be the only consequence of making an
appointment contrary to the statute, and it is a
consequence inapplicable to the situation in question.
