TLS signed “Jerry Ford,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Congress of the United States letterhead, June 20, 1962. Letter to a constituent concerning current foreign policy and the Kennedy administration. In part. “The Republican position…on such things has been consistent. We are absolutely opposed to giving any type of aid to the Communist regime in China. The Red Chinese are out to destroy the free world and the American way of life, and there can be no justification for any type of help from the United States to such a regime. The election is November is an extremely serious one…As you know, the President in his Yale University speech for all intents and purposes stated that a balanced budget is obsolete and one of the myths which must be dispelled from the American scene. He also stated that deficit financing is good and proper and ought to be adopted as a policy of the Government. It seems to me, therefore, that the issue is clearly drawn for the November campaign for election to the Senate and the House of Representatives. If the American people endorse the philosophy and policies of Mr. Kennedy they will re-elect a Democratic House. The most potent method available to the American people to show their disapproval of the Kennedy Administration and New Frontier policy is to elect a Republican House of Representatives.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In very fine condition, with two light mailing folds. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
