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.
