Digitized from Box 15 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SEPTEMBER 12, 1975
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(Kansas City, Missouri)
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
AND
QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION
KANSAS CITY MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
6:22 P.M. CDT
THE PRESIDENT: It is delightful to be in this
part of the country. We love it, and we are coming back
next August and we are looking forward to a very successful
Convention. We are just delighted to have the opportunity
to be here in the Middle West.
QUESTION: Mr. President, can I ask you why you
dropped the reference about holding America hostage in the
last part of your speech in St. Louis?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't recall any -- you mean
in the comments to the White House Conference? I decided
that I had followed the script sufficiently in various
speeches, and I thought I would incorporate some shortened
version, give the people more opportunity to ask questions,
and so I just condensed it.
QUESTION: Do you still feel that way, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: I feel that what I said was the
thing I wanted to say, and I felt it was better that more
people had an opportunity to ask questions than for me to
make a speech.
It is really nice to see you all.
END
(AT 6:24 P.M. CDT)
