EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE
OCTOBER 24, 1976
UPON DELIVERY AT 8:30 a.m., PDT
MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1976
Office of the White House Press Secretary
(San Diego, California)
THE WHITE HOUSE
TEXT OF REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
TO BE DELIVERED AT LINDBERGH FIELD
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1976
I am pleased to announce today that the Secretary of Commerce
will designate 36 counties along our border with Mexico in
California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas as the Southwest Border
Economic Development Region.
This region is being established in response to a request by
Governor Brown, together with the governors of New Mexico, Arizona
and Texas.
The request has been analyzed by the Department of Commerce, which
has recommended establishment of this development region to me.
I am convinced that organization of a regional commission, as
authorized by an amendment to the Public Works and Economic
Development Act passed in 1975, will make a major economic
contribution to promoting economic development in the border
counties.
California counties to be included in the development region are
San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial.
As an economic development region, the southwest border area will
become eligible for Federal assistance in organizing projects
to develop local economic resources.
This ties in with my philosophy that the proper role of the
Federal Government is to help regions and communities work out
solutions to their own problems.
