TLS as president signed “Jerry Ford,” one page, 7 x 10.5, White House letterhead, August 8, 1975. Letter to Congressman Jennings Randolph. In full: “Please accept my commendation for your efforts to establish a ceiling on Federal-aid Highway obligations in 1976. As you know, I share your strong personal commitment to assuring the continued excellence of our national highway systems. The proposed $9 billion program for this 15-month period will very adequately provide for the development of our roads with related positive employment and transportation impacts while preventing an unacceptably high obligation rate with many adverse fiscal consequences. Although the proposed level is higher than that originally recommended by the Administration, it is an acceptable compromise achieved after a substantial dialogue with the Congress. Your proposal was a fine demonstration of the difficult actions that must be taken if we are able to control the level of Federal spending.” In fine condition, with mild scattered creases and a spot of soiling to the upper left.
