Memorandum from First Lady Betty Ford to All White House/EOB (Executive Office Building) Staff

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON February 6, 1975 TO: ALL WHITE HOUSE/EOB STAFF FROM: MBS. FORD I hope you will reserve a half hour tomorrow (Friday, February 7) at either 11:00 a.m. or 11:45 a.m. --and plan on joining me in the Family Theater of the White House for an update on what is happening with the Equal Rights Amendment. An excellent slide presentation on the ERA has been made available to us. Two experts on the subject --John Deardourff and Doug Bailey--will bring us up to date on the Amendment's status and are well equipped to answer our questions. I plan to be on hand to meet you and hope you will bring co-workers for this important briefing. The upcoming year is important to the ratification of the ERA, and I think it's vital to both the men and women who work here to have a clear understanding of the legislation. DATE : Friday, February 7 TIME : 11:00 a.m. or 11:45 a.m. PLACE: FAMILY THEATER, East Wing BBF a FORD Note: If you're interested in coming, please callixx2200 today.
