CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
APRIL 28, 1969
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I'M SURE I SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE MICHIGAN CONGRESSIONAL
DELEGATION WHEN I SAY IT'S A GREAT PLEASURE TO BE HERE
TONIGHT. IT'S ALWAYS WONDERFUL TO GET TOGETHER WITH
REAL PEOPLE
...
PEOPLE FROM MICHIGAN. I DON'T KNOW ALL
OF YOU BUT I CAN TELL QUITE A BIT ABOUT YOU JUST BY
LOOKING AT YOU FROM THIS SPOT. FIRST OF ALL I COULD
TELL BY THE PRAYERFUL ATTITUDE OF EACH OF YOU DURING
THE INVOCATION THAT THERE ISN'T AN ATHEIST IN THE BUNCH.
2/
YOU KNOW WHAT AN ATHEIST IS, DON'T YOU? THAT'S A GUY
WHO DOESN'T CARE HOW THE GAME BETWEEN NOTRE DAME AND
SOUTHERN METHODIST COMES OUT.
I CAN TELL BY LOOKING AT YOU, TOO, THAT EVERY MAN
HERE IS VERY AMBITIOUS. YOUR AMBITION IS TO BE ABLE
TO AFFORD WHAT YOU'RE SPENDING.
YOU KNOW, WE LIVE IN A GREAT COUNTRY. IN AMERICA,
EVERY BOY, NO MATTER HOW HUMBLE THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF
HIS BIRTH, CAN GROW UP TO BE A TAXPAYER.
Digitized from Box D26 of the Ford Congressional Papers: Press Secretary and
Speech File at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
3/
THERE ARE A LOT OF EXECUTIVES IN THIS ROOM TONIGHT.
AN EXECUTIVE. THAT'S A FELLOW WHO MAKES AN IMMEDIATE
DECISION
AND SOMETIMES HE'S RIGHT.
A LOT OF THE MEN IN THIS ROOM ARE VERY WELL-HEELED.
BUT, YOU KNOW, MONEY DOESN'T ALWAYS BRING HAPPINESS. A
GUY WITH TEN MILLION BUCKS IS NO HAPPIER THAN A GUY
WITH NINE MILLION.
HAPPY OR NOT, RICH OR NOT, YOU ARE ALL GATHERED
HERE TONIGHT TO HONOR THE MICHIGAN DELEGATION IN CONGRESS
AND WE LOVE IT. YOU SHOULD LOVE IT, TOO, BECAUSE NOT
4/
ONE OF US IN THE DELEGATION IS GOING TO MAKE A SPEECH.
AT THIS POINT, I WOULD LIKE TO STATE, HOWEVER, THAT IT
JUST ISN'T TRUE THAT A POLITICIAN IS A FELLOW WHO
APPROACHES EVERY PROBLEM WITH AN OPEN MOUTH.
ONE REASON WE'RE GATHERED TOGETHER HERE TONIGHT IS
THAT THIS COUNTRY IS A DEMOCRACY. WINSTON CHURCHILL
ONCE SAID THAT DEMOCRACY IS THE WORST FORM OF
GOVERNMENT
EXCEPT THAT NOBODY HAS EVER COME UP
WITH ANYTHING BETTER.
5/
THERE'S SPAIN, FOR INSTANCE. IN SPAIN THERE ARE
MATADORS. A MATADOR IS A MAN WHO THROWS THE BULL. IN
THIS COUNTRY WE CALL THEM SENATORS.
YOU KNOW, BEHIND EVERY SUCCESSFUL MALE POLITICIAN
THERE IS A WOMAN. I WILL LET YOU GUESS THE IDENTITY
OF THE FIRST MICHIGAN MEMBER OF CONGRESS I AM GOING TO
INTRODUCE BY DESCRIBING HIS WIFE. SHE IS AN ACCOMPLISHED
PILOT. SHE WANTED TO BE AN ASTRONAUT. SHE IS THE
MOTHER OF FOUR SONS AND FOUR DAUGHTERS, WHICH PROBABLY
WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF SHE HAD SPENT MORE TIME FLYING.
6/
I GIVE YOU A MAN WHO, WITH ALL THOSE FAMILY EXEMPTIONS
HAS NO PERSONAL REASON TO FAVOR A CUT IN FEDERAL INCOME
TAXES, THE MAN WHO IS TARZAN TO HIS JANE, MICHIGAN'S
SENIOR SENATOR, NOW SERVING HIS SECOND SIX-YEAR TERM,
PHILIP ALOYSIUS HART.
OF THE MAN I AM GOING TO INTRODUCE NEXT, I COULD
SAY, HE MADE ME WHAT I AM TODAY, BECAUSE HE MASTERMINDED
THE CAMPAIGN THAT MADE ME REPUBLICAN LEADER OF THE HOUSE
IN JANUARY, 1965
BY THE LANDSLIDE MARGIN OF
7/
SEVEN VOTES. AFTER 10 YEARS AS A CONGRESSMAN, BOB
GRIFFIN WAS APPOINTED TO THE SENATE BY THEN GOVERNOR
GEORGE ROMNEY MAY 11, 1966. HE
WENT ON TO DEFEAT
THE LONGTIME CHAMP OF MICHIGAN POLITICS, SOAPY WILLIAMS,
IN NOVEMBER 1966 TO WIN A FULL TERM IN THE U.S. SENATE.
BOB
IN THE SENATE
TOOK ON AND BEAT NOT ONLY MY GOOD
FRIEND EV DIRKSEN,
HE EVEN BESTED THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, LYNDON JOHNSON, BY
ALMOST SINGLE-HANDEDLY BLOCKING HIS CHOICE FOR CHIEF
JUSTICE. WHAT HE LACKS IN PHYSICAL STATURE HE MORE THAN
8/
MAKES UP FOR IN INTESTINAL FORTITUDE. I GIVE YOU MIGHIGAN'S
"JACK THE GIANT KILLER"
OUR JUNIOR SENATOR, BOB GRIFFIN.
MY ROLE TONIGHT IS PURELY A NONPARTISAN ONE, so I
AM HAPPY THAT I WILL BE INTRODUCING YOUR MICHIGAN
CONGRESSMEN BY DISTRICTS
FIRST DISTRICT, SECOND
DISTRICT, AND so FORTH. THAT WAY WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE
PROBLEM OF SENIORITY ENTERING INTO IT.
THE CONGRESSMAN REPRESENTING MICHIGAN'S FIRST
9/
DISTRICT, PART OF THE CITY OF DETROIT, AND THE CITY OF
HIGHLAND PARK, NOW IS IN HIS THIRD TERM IN CONGRESS.
HE SERVES ON THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. THERE'S SOME
TALK OF HIS GOING BACK TO DETROIT TO RUN FOR MAYOR.
APPARENTLY HE HASN'T TALKED WITH JOHN LINDSAY OR
CARL STOKES LATELY. BESIDES, IF HE WANTS TO MAKE THE
LOCAL SCENE, ALL HE HAS TO DO IS GO BACK TO 12TH STREET
AND HE'LL REMEMBER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE A FEW ROCKS
THROWN AT HIM. I GIVE YOU CONGRESSMAN JOHN CONYERS, JR.
10/
MARVIN ESCH OF ANN ARBOR REPRESENTS MICHIGAN'S
SECOND DISTRICT, HE'S ON THE EDUCATION AND LABOR
COMMITTEE. MARV'S "A SWINGER." HE HAS MANAGED TO
GET ELECTED TWICE NOW IN A DISTRICT WHERE THE
CONGRESSIONAL RACE IS USUALLY so CLOSE IT'S KNOWN AS A
SWING DISTRICT. HOW HE DOES IT I DON'T KNOW. I THINK
HE'S GOT THE PEACENIKS IN ANN ARBOR CONVINCED HE HAS A
SECRET PLAN TO END THE VIETNAM WAR. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
MARVIN ESCH.
11/
A HARD-HEADED, NO-NONSENSE FELLOW FROM SCHOOLCRAFT
WITH A BUTCH HAIRCUT TO MATCH. THAT'S GARRY BROWN,
WHO REPRESENTS MICHIGAN'S THIRD DISTRICT. GARRY'S ON THE
BANKING AND CURRENCY COMMITTEE, WHICH, STRANGELY ENOUGH,
MAKES HIM AN EXPERT ON HOUSING. GARRY'S
GOTTA BE A GOOD POLITICIAN. HE KNOCKED OFF A VERY
SAVVY OPPONENT IN 1966 AND BREEZED BACK IN LAST NOVEMBER.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, GARRY BROWN.
12/
EDDIE HUTCHINSON OF FENNVILLE NOW IS IN HIS FOURTH
TERM, REPRESENTING MICHIGAN'S FOURTH DISTRICT. HE
SUCCEEDED THAT COLORFUL OLD CHARACTER, CLARE HOFFMAN.
EDDIE IS A HIGHLY RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE. HE DOESN'T MAKE NOISE, LIKE OLD CLARE DID,
BUT HE DOES HIS HOMEWORK AND MAKES HIS PRESENCE FELT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, EDWARD HUTCHINSON.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE NEXT CONGRESSMAN IN THE
LINEUP NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION. YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING AT
13/
HIM FOR THE LAST 10 OR 15 MINUTES. I REPRESENT THE 5TH
DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN. I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT GRAND
RAPIDS IS MY HOME TOWN. PROBABLY THE ONLY REASON I'M
"EMCEE" TONIGHT IS SENIORITY. I'VE BEEN IN CONGRESS FOR
MORE THAN 20 YEARS, WHICH YOU MAY HAVE GUESSED ANYWAY
FROM MY THICK MOP OF HAIR.
CHARLES E. CHAMBERLAIN OF EAST LANSING REPRESENTS
MICHIGAN'S SIXTH DISTRICT. HE'S BEEN IN CONGRESS SINCE
1956. V-DAY FOR CHUCK IN POLITICS CAME WITH THE SECOND
14/
in 1956.
EISENHOWER WAVE/ HE SERVED ON THE ARMED SERVICES
COMMITTEE UNTIL THIS YEAR, WHEN HE SWITCHED TO THE
COMMITTEE THAT DECIDES HOW MUCH TAXES YOU'RE GOING TO
PAY, WAYS AND MEANS. HE'S VERY MUCH AWARE THAT EVERY
MAN IN THIS ROOM WOULD BE A SUCCESS IF IT WEREN'T FOR
TAXES. I GIVE YOU
...
CHUCK CHAMBERLAIN.
DONALD W. RIEGLE OF FLINT REPRESENTS MICHIGAN'S
SEVENTH DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. HE WAS ONE OF THE
BRIGHT YOUNG MEN WHO WERE FIRST ELECTED TO THE HOUSE
15/
IN 1966 AND HAVE BEEN SHAKING THE RAFTERS EVER SINCE.
HE HAS BEEN TO VIETNAM
BUT DIDN'T MANAGE TO END
THE WAR. HE HAS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WORRIED, THOUGH,
PEOPLE WHO ARE PLANNING ON RUNNING FOR THE UNITED STATES
SENATE IN 1970. I PRESENT TO YOU
CONGRESSMAN
DON RIEGLE.
JIM HARVEY OF SAGINAW, WHO REPRESENTS MICHIGAN'S
EIGHTH DISTRICT, IS A REAL YANKEE DOODLE DANDY. HE
ACTUALLY WAS BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. IT WAS NICE
16/
AND COOL THAT DAY, THOUGH, THE PLACE WAS IRON MOUNTAIN,
MICHIGAN. JIM IS GETTING TO BE ONE OF OUR 'OLD' BOYS.
HE NOW IS IN HIS FIFTH TERM IN THE HOUSE. HE'S ON THE
INTERSTATE AND FOREIGN COMMERCE COMMITTEE AND FORMERLY
SERVED ALSO ON THE BANKING AND CURRENCY COMMITTEE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, JIM HARVEY.
GUY ADRIAN VANDER JAGT OF CADILLAC REPRESENTS
MICHIGAN'S NINTH DISTRICT. WHY HE WANTS THAT "ADRIAN"
IN THERE I DON'T KNOW. I ONCE KNEW A FELLOW WHOSE
17/
NAME WAS ADRIAN AND HE INSISTED ON BEING CALLED SAM.
GUY'S NAME IS LONG ENOUGH AS IT IS. //// I'M JUST SAYING
THIS BECAUSE WITH THAT DUTCH NAME OF HIS, I'M LUCKY HE
ISN'T RUNNING IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT. GUY'S ON THE
SPACE COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT
OPERATIONS. HE'S IN HIS SECOND TERM IN THE HOUSE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, GUY VANDER JAGT.
AL CEDERBERG OF BAY CITY IS ONE OF THE OLD PRO'S
IN OUR DELEGATION. HE HAS REPRESENTED THE 10TH DISTRICT
18/
FOR NEARLY 18 YEARS. I THINK THE REASON HE KEEPS
RUNNING FOR CONGRESS IS THAT HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO
BACK TO THE JOB HE HAD BEFORE
A REALLY TOUGH
ONE
MAYOR OF BAY CITY. AL HELPS TO SPEND YOUR
MONEY. HE'S A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AL CEDERBERG.
PHIL RUPPE OF HOUGHTON REPRESENTS MICHIGAN'S 11TH
DISTRICT. THERE ARE A LOT OF BEER DRINKERS IN THE
UPPER PENINSULA, AND PHIL RUNS A BREWERY. so FIGURE
19/
IT OUT FOR YOURSELF. SERIOUSLY, PHIL IS ONE OF OUR
OUTSTANDING YOUNG MEN, ELECTED TO CONGRESS IN 1966
AND AGAIN THE LAST TIME AROUND. HE'S ON THE MERCHANT
MARINE AND FISHERIES COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE ON
INSULAR AFFAIRS. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PHIL RUPPE.
JIM O'HARA OF UTICA REPRESENTS THE 12TH DISTRICT.
HE USED TO BE A SWINGER LIKE MARV ESCH. NOW HE'S so
SURE OF ELECTION EVERY TWO YEARS THAT HE HAS ONE OF
THE SHORTEST BIOGRAPHIES IN THE CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY.
20/
JIM'S BEEN IN THE HOUSE FOR 11 YEARS NOW. HE GETS MORE
AND MORE DISTINGUISHED EACH YEAR, WHAT WITH THE WAY
HIS HAIR HAS TURNED GRAY. SERIOUSLY, HE IS RECOGNIZED
AS ONE OF THE FOREMOST LIBERALS IN THE HOUSE. LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN, ONE OF THE LEADING MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE
EDUCATION AND LABOR COMMITTEE, CONGRESSMAN JIM O'HARA.
CHARLEY DIGGS IS EVERYBODY'S FRIEND. WHAT UNDERTAKER
ISN'T? CHARLEY REPRESENTS PART OF DETROIT IN CONGRESS --
THE 13TH DISTRICT. HE IS IN HIS 15TH YEAR IN THE HOUSE.
21/
CHARLEY IS THE SEVENTH RANKING DEMOCRAT an THE HOUSE
FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
CHARLES C. DIGGS, JR.
LUCIEN NEDZI, ANOTHER DETROITER, HAS REPRESENTED
THE 14TH DISTRICT IN CONGRESS SINCE 1961. LUCIEN IS
A QUIET, DETERMINED FELLOW WHO IS MAKING HIS MARK ON
THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE. HE ALSO SPEAKS POLISH,
AND THAT DOESN'T DO HIM ANY HARM IN HIS DISTRICT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LUCIEN NORBERT NEDZI.
22/
WILLIAM -- D. FOR DEMOCRAT -- FORD, NOT TO BE
CONFUSED WITH GERALD -- R. FOR REPUBLICAN -- FORD,
HAILS FROM TAYLOR, MICH. HE IS ON THE EDUCATION AND
LABOR COMMITTEE AND HAS REPRESENTED THE 15TH DISTRICT
OF MICHIGAN SINCE JANUARY 1965. BILL SAYS IT JUST
ISN'T TRUE THAT A LIBERAL IS A FELLOW WHO ENJOYS
SAENDING SOMEONE ELSE'S MONEY. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THE HIGHLY ARTICULATE CONGRESSMAN FROM THE DOWNRIVER
DETROIT AREA, BILL FORD.
23/
JOHN-D., FOR DYNASTY@DINGELL SUCCEEDED HIS FATHER
IN CONGRESS IN DECEMBER 1955. HE REPRESENTS THE 16TH
DISTRICT. HE BELIEVES IN SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. HE
LIVES IN DEARBORN. AFTER THE STATE LEGISLATURE REVISED
MICHIGAN'S CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS PRIOR TO THE 1964
ELECTION, JOHNNY DINGELL ROUNDED UP EVERY POSSIBLE BIT
OF SUPPORT IN DEARBORN, EVEN THOUGH HE HAD TO GO INTO
EVERY BAR IN TOWN TO DO IT. JOHNNY IS A MEMBER OF THE
INTERSTATE AND FOREIGN COMMERCE COMMITTEE AND THE MERCHANT
MARINE AND FISHERIES COMMITTEE. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
24/
JOHN D. DINGELL.
YOUR NEXT HONORED GUEST HAS REPRESENTED THE 17TH
DISTRICT IN CONGRESS FOR 15 YEARS. WITH APOLOGIES TO
HICKS GRIFFITHS, I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT MARTHA NOT
ONLY WEARS THE PANTS IN HER OWN HOUSE BUT ALSO IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. A DETROITER, SHE IS THE ONLY
WOMAN EVER TO SERVE ON THE POWERFUL HOUSE WAYS AND
MEANS COMMITTEE. SHE IS ALSO A FIGHTER FOR WOMEN'S
RIGHTS. I'M TOLD SHE ONCE WROTE A LITTLE POEM THAT WENT:
25/
WOMEN HAVE THEIR MANY FAULTS,
MEN -- THEY HAVE BUT TWO --
IT'S EVERYTHING THEY HAVE TO SAY,
AND EVERYTHING THEY DO.
SERIOUSLY, MARTHA LOVES THE MENFOLK, AND WE LOVE HER, TOO.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, CONGRESSWOMAN MARTHA GRIFFITHS.
THE CONGRESSMAN WHO REPRESENTS THE 18TH DISTRICT IS
THAT GUY WITH THE GREAT GRIN, THAT FELLOW EVERYBODY
LIKES, BILL BROOMFIELD OF ROYAL OAK. BILL SEEMS LIKE
A QUIET SORT BUT ACTUALLY HE GETS AROUND A LOT. HE'S THE
NUMBER FOUR REPUBLICAN ON THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
26/
AND IS WIDELY TRAVELED. THAT'S A POLITE WAY OF SAYING
HE'S BEEN ON A LOT OF JUNKETS. BILL'S BEEN IN CONGRESS
FOR 11 YEARS. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE MAN FROM ROYAL
OAK, BILL BROOMFIELD.
I NOW HAVE THE PLEASURE OF INTRODUCING THE YOUNGEST
MEMBER OF OUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION
...
JUST A KID
OF 36
JACK McDONALD OF REDFORD TOWNSHIP. WHO
KNOWS, MAYBE JACK CAN HELP THE REST OF US BRIDGE THE
GENERATION GAP. JACK IS YOUNG IN YEARS BUT WISE IN
27/
THE WAYS OF POLITICS. AFTER ALL, HE WAS CHAIRMAN OF THE
WAYNE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS BEFORE BEING ELECTED
TO CONGRESS IN 1966. AND NOW HE'S A MEMBER OF THE
HOUSE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE. WINDING UP ON A YOUTHFUL
NOTE, I GIVE YOU THAT PERSONABLE GENTLEMAN, JACK
McDONALD OF REDFORD TOWNSHIP.
AND NOW WE TURN FROM YOUTH TO BEAUTY. NO OFFENSE,
JACK. WE HAVE WITH US TONIGHT AS OUR PRINCIPAL
SPEAKER, MISS MARILYN VAN DERBUR. WITH THAT NAME, SHE
28/
COULD BE FROM MY CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. MISS VAN DERBUR
IS NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL BUT SMART. A FORMER MISS AMERICA,
SHE WEARS A PHI BETA KAPPA KEY. I PERSONALLY DON'T THINK
IT ADDS A THING TO HER APPEARANCE. WE ALL KNOW THAT
WOMEN ARE SMARTER THAN MEN. THEY HAVE THE FIGURES TO
PROVE IT.
MISS VAN DERBUR IS A TELEVISION PERSONALITY. SHE
HAS APPEARED ON THE STEVE ALLEN, ED SULLIVAN, ART
LINKLETTER AND "TONIGHT" SHOWS AND ON DAVID SUSSKIND'S
"OPEN END." SHE HAS BEEN A HOSTESS ON CANDID CAMERA AND
29/
THE BELL TELEPHONE HOUR AND A PANELIST ON "TO TELL THE
TRUTH." SHE IS PERHAPS BEST KNOWN AS THE TV HOSTESS
OF THE MISS AMERICA PAGEANT FOR FIVE CONSECUTIVE YEARS.
MORE RECENTLY, MISS VAN DERBUR PLAYED A ROLE IN
TV PRESENTATION OF THE MISS TEENAGE AMERICA PAGEANT,
THE CBS SPECTACULAR, "LET'S GO TO THE FAIR," AND THE
COTTON BOWL PARADES OF 1965 AND 1966.
MISS VAN DERBUR IS IN GREAT DEMAND AS A CONVENTION
SPEAKER. TONIGHT SHE COMES TO US COURTESY OF GENERAL
MOTORS CORPORATION. IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE THAT I
30/
YIELD TO THE GENTLE LADY FROM DENVER, COLORADO, MISS MARILYN
VAN DERBUR. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MISS VAN DERBUR.
