Ford's Fifth District weekly radio scripts from January to June 1966, plus several National Republican Congressional Committee scripts. They deal with President Johnson's budget, inflation, four-year House terms, electoral college reform, foreign aid, the Vietnam War, rent subsidies and Memorial Day.

radio tape 3 o£ bureaucratic agencies ••••••••• buying an executive mansion for the Vice President, providing luxurious ~ yachts,~ &i!'p'ene for the President fails to set this kind of economic cut-back. Americans are starting to p~ their income taxes to the federal government. They are learning that Washington-generated spending is cutting into their savings and iltB!iMw&&MJDIIkui&z forcing them to reduce their buying of the necessities of life. As the Viet Nam war continues,~ with the President commanding our part in it, we may be called upon to make more personal sacrifices. Therefore, I believe non-essential spending in government must be curtailed and in many instances stopped. The leadership for this kind of common-sense econo~ should come from the White House. This is your congressman Jerr,y Ford reporting to you from Washington. Thanks for listening.
