Digitized from Box 32 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
OCTOB R 15, 1976
Office of the White House Press Secretary
NOTICE TO THE PRESS
The President has signed H.R. 14886 -- Presidential Transition Act
Amendments.
This bill increases the appropriation authorization for the Presidential
Transition Act of 1963 from $900,000 to $3 million. This increase is in
recognition of the fact that, as a result of inflation and other factors
which have pushed up costs since 1963, the $900,000 authorization for any one
Presidential transition is no longer adequate.
H.R. 14886 also allocates the increased authorization as follows: (a) $2 million
for the President-elect and Vice President-elect; and (b) $1 million to the
outgoing President and Vice President.
