Description

"My continuing interest in science and technology will be reflected in my 1978 Budget"

TLS as president signed “Gerald R. Ford,” one page, 6.75 x 10.25, White House letterhead, no date. Letter to Dr. Ernest R. Gilmont, Chairman of the Committee of Scientific Society Presidents, in full: “I deeply appreciate the statement by the Committee of Scientific Society Presidents commenting on my efforts to increase the contributions of science and technology. Together, we have made considerable progress during the past two years in creating an awareness of the important contributions that science and technology can make in achieving our important national objectives. I am particularly pleased that we have been able to establish an Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President. I am also pleased by the increase in Federal support for research and development, particularly in the basic sciences; and by the increased recognition of contributions made by individual scientists and engineers. This progress is due in large part to the excellent support provided by the Committee of Scientific Society Presidents under your leadership. My continuing interest in science and technology will be reflected in my 1978 Budget. I urge you to join in supporting, before the Congress, these proposals so that we can make further progress in implementing the policies and programs we have developed together.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 11.5 x 15. In fine condition.
