World Trade Week, 1976

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

When our Nation's founders met two hundred years ago in Philadelphia to declare our independence, they categorized in unambiguous terms the reasons that compelled them to embark upon such a momentous and irrevocable course. "Cutting off our Trade with all Parts of the World" was high on the list of grievances. The patriots who declared independence in 1776 set the United States on the path to leadership in the interdependent world of 1976. Their action enabled us, over a period of two centuries, to construct a firm foundation of commercial alliances with nations around the globe. Last year our two-way trade with other nations amounted to $204 billion, with a record trade surplus of more than $11 billion. America's performance in the world marketplace is a true measure of the quality of American products, the extent of American ingenuity, and the dedication of American labor and industry to international commerce. Trade has been indispensable to our economic growth, to the greater well-being of our citizens, and to peacefol progress in our relationships abroad. It remains indispensable as we look to the new horizons of our third century. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 16, 1976, as World Trade Week. I call upon all Americans to join with business, labor, agricultural, educational, professional and civic groups, and public officials at all levels of Government, in observ­ ing World Trade Week with appropriate activities and ceremonies. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundredth. --·""' ~ .....

Congressman Delbert Latta 2309 New House Building Washington, D. C. Dear Congres8man Latta, As the Junior High history teacher in the Glandorf Elementary School, I am very interested in projects this year with a Bi-Centennial theme. One of our projects has been completed and, thanks to you and many of our politi­ cal leaders, it was very successful. Our Junior High citizens now have a deeper know­ ledge of their responsibilities to our country and each other.

I talked with Mrs. Kiene today and she told me that she was able to speak with you this past week-end concerning ttie Bi-Centennial quilt our class is making.

Our class is excited with your interest in our project. They are thrilled with the possibility of presenting it to the President. Mrs. Kiene mentioned that you would like to have the project ready to present some­ time in January. Originally, we had planned to make it a year-long project; but. that was before we considered the President's busy schedule due to the upcoming primaries.

We would appreciate a.s much time in January as possible; but of course, any time that is best for President Ford and you will certainly be all right with us.

We appreciate the privilege of participating in such a memorable experience. I am sure that this is one history lesson that will never be forgotten by our students. ,· Thank you for making this opportunity possible. We are eagerly awaiting your re- ply.

To comply with a request by Bob Michel and the 16 Whips for a meeting with the President prior to the Easter Recess.

2. This bronze sculpture is symbolic of the Colorado Gun Collectors Association's position on gun control.

Last year I submitted to Congress my crime message. In that message I called for:

a. mandatory minimum sentences for those persons who use guns in the commission of crimes.

b. increased investigative resources in major metropolitan areas.

c. the elimination of "Saturday night specials".

3. I am adamantly opposed to any legislation that would establish licensing or registration require­ ments of guns. And, I will oppose any gun -'legislation that goes beyond my own program.

4. As you know, a bill supported earlier by Congressman Conyers was defeated in the House Judiciary Committee last month. Prospects for congressional action this session are dim. 11 ~~ o- 11~as SCHEDULE PROPOSAL DATE: February 7, 1976 THE WHITE HOUSE THRU: Max Friedersdorf

Dear Vern: Attached is some additional information regarding the Colorado Gun Collectors Association's desire to make a presenta­ tion to the President. Enclosed is a copy of their letter of December 17th to Max Friedersdorf and a picture of the sculpture they wish to present. Frank Sellers indicated he would be able to come to Washington on short notice to make the presentation. He would be able to do so any time but the weekend of February 28th when he is getting married!

There are approximately 200 members of the Association in ) Colorado, but, of course, such a presentation could be widely publicized across the couptry through gun collectors' magazines, etc. I do not view the presentation as something controversial considering the President's stated position on gun control legislation.

Dear Mr. Friedersdorf:

I •m writing to you at the suggestion of Congressman William Armstrong (R-Colo.)

The Color«dO GJn Collectors Association would like to present to

President Ford, or to The White House, Whichever wo~ld be appropriate, an original bronze scu~pture by Colorado artist Rusty Phelps. The sculpture, entitled "The Minuteman", is emblematic both of our celebration of the Cen­ tennial/Bicentennial and our feelings on the current matter o~ anti-gun legislation: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." The statue is 11 inches high.

Naturally we would prefer to make the presentation in person, but we also understand that this might not be possible due to the demands on the President~ time and will be advised by you on the proper procedure.

Mr. Max Friedersdorf Assistant to the President The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Max: I received a copy of your letter from the Colorado Gun Collectors Association. I have been in touch with this Association and know that they are very anxious to present an original bronze sculpture to the President. I hope that it will be possible for the President to receive this symbolic gift. It would mean a great deal to the members of the Colorado Gun Collectors Association. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards.
