Digitized from Box 3 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 12, 1974 Office of the White House Press Secretary THE WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT REQUESTED BY BOSTON MEDIA REPRESENTATIVES Boston is a fine, proud City. The cradle of liberty. Where many of the freedoms that we all so cherish today in this Country, were born, 200 years ago. The people of Boston share a tradition for reason, fairness and respect for the rights of others. Now, in a difficult period for all of you, it is a time to reflect on all that your City means to you. To react in the finest tradition of your City's people. It is up to you, every one of you, every parent, child, to reject violence of any kind in your Qty. To reject hatred and the shrill voices of the violent few. I know that nothing is more important to you than the safety of the children in Boston. And only your calm and thoughtful action now can guarantee that safety. I know that you will all work together for that goal. And have one more thing to be proud of in the cradle of liberty.
