FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OCTOBER 25, 1976
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(Portland, Oregon)
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
UPON HIS ARRIVAL TO
PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
3:21 P.M. PDT
Thank you very much, Bob Packwood.
Really, I feel very humble coming to the great
State of Oregon and to have the endorsement of Edith
Green, the endorsement of Mrs. Tom McCall, and the
endorsement of such a prestigious group as you see on
my right.
I think Oregon is extremely well-served by
the two fine Senators that it has in Mark Hatfield and
Bob Packwood. Of course, it was great to see my good
friend, Wendell Wyatt.
I am delighted to be here and have an
opportunity to come back and renew acquaintances in
the State of Oregon, and I can assure you that in the
remaining days of this campaign I will try in a very
constructive way to point out the significance of this
election, the fundamental differences that exist, and
why, in my judgment, there ought to be a selection of
Jerry Ford and Bob Dole as our leaders for the next
four years.
I can assure you that what we have done in
the past two years will simply be a forerunner of the
kind of progress I think America can make and will make
in the first four years of our third century.
Nothing was more inspirational to me than
that wonderful Fourth of July when America celebrated
its Bicentennial. I found all over America -- and it
was reported by the news media I think with great
enthusiasm because it showed a change -- America was
healed, America was on the move, and we all look forward
to a great opportunity to do the things in the next
four and the next one hundred years that must be done
to make that vision of our forefathers a reality.
So, I thank Edith. She has taken on the
leadership with two others, George Feldman and Dom
DiMaggio, to get all the Independents and Democrats who
feel, as I do, that this country does have an opportunity
to do those wonderful things that our forefathers gave
us the opportunity to do. I just couldn't come to Oregon
and get a finer display of the kind of support that I
want, and I thank each and every one of them from the
bottom of my heart.
Thank you.
END
(AT 3:25 P.M. PDT)
