Entitled The Making of the President in the Bi-Centennial Year, the documentary was received by the White House and acknowledged by the President in a letter addressed to Professor Thuma in January, 1977. Those tapes were subsequently sent to Ann Arbor for inclusion in the future Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library. Accession 2005-NLF-044 contains a hard copy of the radio documentary script, 35mm color slides of the 1976 and 1980 campaigns and pictures related to President Ford’s public career. Also included is a CD Rom version of the transcript and a CD Rom containing copies of the pictures taken during the 1976 campaign used in the transcript. Some of the slides used in the transcript were pictures taken from the internet. Also included is a still photograph of President Ford and Professor Thuma which appeared in the Detroit Free Press. Early in his career at Oakland Community College, Professor Thuma took over a 15- minute radio series, Outlook Education, devoted to the events and personalities at the college. In the next few years the show expanded to half and hour, and later to an hour, and , known as Epilogue 1, became devoted to a survey of the media, creative arts, politics and the human condition.—anything of interest to Thuma requiring him to obtain audio and later, when the format was adapted to fit the requirements of cable television, visual materials for the classes he taught. The show had a very small audience as it aired between 5:00-7:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. Accession 2005-NLF-044 includes interviews developed for this show in a Word document on a second CD Rom entitled The Epilogue Conversations. At the time of donation the bulk of this collection – nearly 200 35 mm slides – was housed in two slideshow carousels which were labeled “1976 Presidential Campaign Slides” and “1980 Political Campaign, GOP Convention, July 1980, Detroit, Michigan.” The original order of these slides has been preserved through their identification numbers; viewing them chronologically reveals their original arrangement. [See the Series Descriptions and Inventory List on pages 19-27 of this document]. Most slides are stamped with a date, which is found in parentheses following the description. These dates can be used as a general guideline but not as an exact date as the slides were stamped at the time of development, and do not reflect the date the image was photographed. The above-mentioned Inventory List provides only cursory descriptions. What follows in pages 4-18 of this document is a Finding Aid in which the items have been grouped by subject by the processing archivist. Some specific events have been identified while other topics remain generalized, based on their subject or the featured individual. The selected major topics include: • 10/10/1975: President’s 20th Press Conference, Detroit, MI • 10/10/1975: Michigan Republicans Salute the President Dinner, Detroit, MI - 3 - • 09/15/1976: General Campaign Kickoff at Crisler Arena, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI • 11/1/1976: GRF’s Remarks Upon Arriving in Detroit, MI • 7/18-19/1980: Republican National Convention, Detroit, MI In addition to Gerald and Betty Ford such prominent individuals as Nelson Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush., and various Michigan politicians are featured in the slides. For description brevity, the names Gerald R. Ford and Betty Ford have been abbreviated to “GRF” and “EBF,” respectively. Appended to this document is a 7-page electronic records finding aid for the two DVDs contained in the collection. 1.

KENNEDYAND BERLIN Nicholas Labinski Marquette University, 2011 This paper examines John F. Kennedy’s rhetoric concerning the Berlin Crisis (1961-1963). Three major speeches are analyzed: Kennedy’s Radio and Television Report to the American People on the Berlin Crisis , the Address at Rudolph Wilde Platz and the Address at the Free University. The study interrogates the rhetorical strategies implemented by Kennedy in confronting Khrushchev over the explosive situation in Berlin. The paper attempts to answer the following research questions: What is the historical context that helped frame the rhetorical situation Kennedy faced? What rhetorical strategies and tactics did Kennedy employ in these speeches? How might Kennedy's speeches extend our understanding of presidential public address? What is the impact of Kennedy's speeches on U.S. German relations and the development of U.S. and German Policy? What implications might these speeches have for the study and execution of presidential power and international diplomacy? Using a historical-rhetorical methodology that incorporates the historical circumstances surrounding the crisis into the analysis, this examination of Kennedy’s rhetoric reveals his evolution concerning Berlin and his Cold War strategy.

  • 1 Draft, Not for Citation Historical Perspectives on the Taiwan

    1 Draft, Not for Citation Historical Perspectives on the Taiwan

    Historical Perspectives on the Taiwan Relations Act Steven Phillips, Towson University AACS, October 2014, Washington, DC Draft: Not for citation or quotation. There exist several ways to understand or explain the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act (TRA). First, the TRA represented a turning point in the history of United States relations with Taiwan. The first half of this story runs from the early Cold War to the late 1970s, when President Jimmy Carter completed the process of rapprochement begun by Richard Nixon. Taiwan’s “consolation prize” for the switch in diplomatic recognition to the People’s Republic was the ambiguous commitment of the TRA. This narrative continues to the present as the Republic of China (ROC) on Taiwan struggles to maintain its international space and ties to Washington. Second is the story of the troubled presidency of Jimmy Carter, where domestic economic woes, foreign crises, and a sense of malaise led to the land-slide victory of Ronald Reagan and the rebirth of the Conservative movement in the United States. The TRA is one of many signs of growing discontent with Carter. Third is the long history of conflict between Congress and the President over foreign policy. The trends of the Nixon/Ford era combined with President Jimmy Carter’s weakness and a series of foreign policy crises to further embolden Congress. As one observer noted, “A careful analysis of the Taiwan Relations Act leaves no doubt that is does serve—in some respects, admirably—as an illuminating case study of congressional activism in foreign affairs.”1 He attributes this to a reaction to the growth of presidential power throughout the twentieth century.

    Dope, Inc. Versus the White House: the Max Fisher Scandal

    Click here for Full Issue of EIR Volume 8, Number 47, December 8, 1981 �TIillSpecialReport , D,ope, Inc. versus the White House: the Max Fisher scandal by David Goldman, Economics Editor President Reagan's Oct. 29 victory over opposition to the sale of advanced radar aircraft to Saudi Arabia concluded one of the most extraordinary episodes in American politiCal history, in which a fairly routine action on behalf of an essential American ally and trading partner nearly foundered upon opposition in the American Congress. As the following materials document, United Brands' Max Fisher, ex-Purple Gang hood and associate of bootleggers and button men, was the center around which the opposition revolved. Recently under attack in the Israeli press for withholding funds raised by American Jewish charities from their destination in Israel, Fisher has been one of the most powerful, and most controversial, figures in the American Zionist movement. As EIR reported last week, the pressure on President Reagan has by no means let up following the AWACS vote. Max Fisher, the chairman of the Republican Party's Jewish Advisory Committee, met with Vice-President George Bush, and then on Nov. 19, the President met with 33 top financial contributors tCi his campaign who were reportedly seeking "reassurances" that Reagan would not pursue a comprehensive Middle East peace along the lines prescribed by Saudi Crown Prince Fahd, which proposes that Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization recognize each other's right to exist. These meetings were preparatory to a heavy deployment to the United States in late November by members of the Menachem Begin government of Israel, including Defense Minister Ariel Sharon and, in a last-minute addition, Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir.
