Gerald Ford

This administration will have no embargoes, period.

I will bet Bob could look around this group from Russell, Kansas, mention many by name, and could refresh your memories--and his--of how he helped you to do this or helped you do that.

We can act like real zealots but also great Americans.

The farmers of America must get a fair price in a free market.

This administration will never make the hard work and the production of the American farmer a pawn in international diplomacy.

I think we have conducted ourselves here in Kansas City in a superb way.

I believe that the national committee ought to take a hard look at it and perhaps lay the groundwork for 1980.

We cannot do everything in the future the way we have done them in the past because things change.

We want to make a better America for the children and grandchildren that will follow us.

We have to find a way to give greater tax relief to the middle-income people of this country who have been shortchanged over the years.

But the thing that impresses me--and I think it's worth noting--the great State of Kansas produces some great statesmen.

I know that you produce a tremendous amount of wheat.

I know how important, how vital each of you are and what all of you do.

Governor Reagan is probably the most effective campaigner in the United States today.

I couldn't be happier than having Bob Dole as Vice President.

I think we can leave that arena tomorrow night unified, vigorous, determined to win for the American people on November 2.

I complimented him on a real good campaign.

It is a great pleasure, privilege, and I am extremely proud to introduce to you Senator Bob Dole of the great State of Kansas as my running mate for victory in 1976.

I don't think our fight has been a bitter one.

I indicated that we certainly wanted him to be standing shoulder to shoulder with us in the months ahead.

I want you to know that helped us get through and win, and win on November 2.

I wanted Governor Reagan to be a part of my administration.

I think he has an outstanding record.

You have been tremendous here as an inspiration in the closing minutes of a tough ball game.

I am really thrilled with the opportunity of having Bob Dole as my running mate.
