TLS signed “Jerry Ford,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Congress of the United States letterhead, May 23, 1968. In part: “Thank you for your thoughtful Letter…and your support of the position which I have taken relative to the Federal government’s spending policies…As you know, we Republicans have been urging the Administration to cut down on unnecessary expenditures, but it has not heeded our warnings. In fact in many instances, the Administration has been responsible for the creation of new and expensive projects which further burden the taxpayers. One of the reasons we Republicans have been so anxious to keep down the cost of living is that many of our citizens must live on fixed incomes and spiraling inflation places its greatest burden on them.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Despite the best effort of Ford and his fellow Republicans, the Johnson administration passed 84 bills through Congress, many as part of LBJ’s ‘Great Society.’ RR Auction COA.
