Digitized from Box 128 of The Ron Nessen Papers at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 4, 1975 MEMORANDUM FOR: JIH CONNOR FROM: RON NESSEN SUBJECT: Presidential Press Conference Thursday - June 5, 1975. Don Rumsfeld suggested that I prepare a schedule proposal for a .Presidential news conference this week. The idea is to further capitalize on what the press and the public perceive to be a · successful foreign policy journey by the President. I recommend a televised news conference from the EOB Auditorium for 8:00p.m. Thursday, June·5. Eight o'clock p.m. is the preferable time because it causes the least disruption of television shows forcing cancellation only of three re-runs, two of which are not very popular anyhow. Thursday night is preferable to Friday because in the warm weather many potential viewers would be traveling for the weekend holiday. A Thursday night news conference also ,.;rould provide reporters with information to use in their Sunday newspaper and Monday news magazine assessment of the trip. These stories are normally written on Fridays. An option you might want to consider is to have the news conference at the State Department either in the big auditorium or, preferably, in the conference room used for Kissinger news conferences. This would underscore the fact that the news conference is really a report to the people on a major foreign policy effort. My office is already in the process of preparing a Presidential Q & A briefing book for the news conference and it could be ready for a news conference as early as tomorrow evening. If the decision is to go with a televised news conference Thursday night, I will need to be informed as early as possible in order to make the necessary television arrangements.

WG/pac • • - THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON July 3, 1975 MEMORANDUM FOR THE CABINET SUBJECT: JUNE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE The attached paper is forwarded for your guidance in making any comments on the unemployment rate to be announced today. E. CONNOR TARY TO THE CABINET encl. - GUIDANCE FOR RESPONDING TO QUESTIONS A BOUT JUNE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (FOR USE AFTER 10:00 A.M., THURSDAY, JULY 3, WHEN A JUNE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE OF 8. 6 PERCENT WILL BE ANNOUNCED) We believe unemployment was, in fact, essentially unchanged from May to June. The drop in the figure from 9. 2 in May to 8. 6 in June, was caused by a statistical abnormality, which distorted both the May and the June figures. The May figure was too high and the June figure was too low. We believe that the average of 8. 6 and 9. 2 in other words about 8. 9 -- is roughly the accurate unemployment figure for both May and June. The unemployment figure for April was also 8. 9. We expect the unemployment figure for July to be higher than 8. 6. So it would not be accurate to say that the June figure represented the start of a downward trend in unemployment. ~ut we are pleased that the unemployment rate has stopped rising and is essentially steady. (In the Fall, a similar statistical quirk, involving "seasonal adjustment, 11 may make it appear, incorrectly, that there is a jump in unemployment between September and October.)

The plot concerns an East German Olympic star (Miss Sommer) who escapes from a lecherous East German propaganda minister (Werner Klemperer) by pole-vaulting over the Berlin Wall in her black-lace underthings. She is ultimately betrothed to a reformed American black-market operator (Bob Crane), who had previously tried to sell her to the East Germans and to the C.I.A. The real story, however, is a bit of bumbling, color pornography, a little nude film that lost its way on 42d Street and drifted on over to the Astor. It seems to view the cold war as a vast conspiracy to get people undressed, as clumsily and joylessly as possible. In various scenes, Miss Sommer has her sweatshirt removed by the weight of some medals on her front, her bathrobe drawn off by a vacuum cleaner, her black-lace underthings reeled in by some fishermen on a riverbank, her dress split by a climb up the wall of a hotel, and so on. For the special interest groups, there is a moment when Miss Sommer tears the skirt off a rather substantial matron in uniform, and another in which (still in her underthings) she runs a gantlet of machine- gun fire.

  • The Adventures of Antoine Doinel
    The Adventures of Antoine Doinel Dir: Francois Truffaut, France, 1959, 1962, 1968, 1970 and 1979 A review by Richard Harrison, Norwich City College, UK May 5th, 2004 marks the sixtieth birthday of Jean-Pierre Leaud, perhaps the most famous juvenile in world cinema history. As Antoine Doinel, his rise from pre-pubescent adolescent to fully grown man across five Francois Truffaut films between 1959 and 1979 is chronicled in a luxurious five DVD set from the Criterion Collection. The 400 Blows (1959), Antoine And Colette (1962), Stolen Kisses (1968), Bed And Board (1970) and Love On The Run (1979) provide not only a detailed insight into the cycle’s eponymous star but also a semi- autobiographical portrait of their director. The five DVD set is well packaged, with each film having been painstakingly remastered. The picture quality is outstanding, and reveals the true beauty of the films (compare the films with the short clips that appear in the television show extracts). Antoine and Colette appears on the same disc as the The 400 Blows which enables the fifth disc to include Les Mistons (1957), a delightful short film which acts as precursor to the Doinel cycle, and a fascinating documentary piece Working With Francois Truffaut: Claude de Givray and Bernard Revon (1986). All the discs have extras of some sort, ranging from Brian Stonehill’s superb, friendly commentary that accompanies the The 400 Blows to newsreel footage of the 1959 and 1968 Cannes Film Festivals, and numerous television interviews with Francois Truffaut and Jean- Pierre Leaud. An informative and nicely illustrated seventy-two page booklet completes what is an essential purchase for any film enthusiast, and reveals why Truffaut’s premature death in 1984 was such a catastrophic loss, not only for the world in general but for cinema in particular.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Robert M.
