FORD, Gerald R — TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS)

Washington. TYPED LETTER SIGNED "Jerry" on Office of the Minority Leader stationery to Paul Theis, Director of Public Relations for the Republican National Congressional Committee, expressing his appreciation for his work "in connection with our recent Congressional Leadership Briefings. This is a year when Republicans are all working together. As I go about the country talking to candidates and other concerned Americans, I find everywhere a reassuring spirit of responsibility and eagerness to participate in the process of constructive political change. I think the votes cast November 5 will be more than merely a protest. They will be a mandate for new Republican leadership in the White House and in the Congress, to get on with the urgent business of building a better America." Richard Nixon was elected president that election to his first term. After his vice-president, Spiro Agnew, resigned in disgrace in 1973, Ford was appointed vice-president..
