Description

"We in the Congress do not exercise any censorship over the cover pictures of any news magazines published in our country"

TLS signed “Jerry Ford,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Office of the Minority Leader, House of Representatives letterhead, January 26, 1971. Letter to Elisabeth Wenger, in part: "As you know the decision of whose picture appears on the cover of Newsweek and Time magazines is made by the editors of the respective publications. I trust if you have not already done so you will pass on your recommendations to the editors of Newsweek and Time. I think your point is well taken, but we in the Congress do not exercise any censorship over the cover pictures of any news magazines published in our country." In fine condition. An interesting defense of America's freedom of the press.
