I hope you were as pleased as all of us were with the way the President's trip unfolded.

The President was very pleased with the stop and I hope that everyone at the EPA is equally satisfied. Please convey my deepest thanks to all those on your committee who contributed extra time and effort to making the dedication of the National Research Center a great success. Again, Ernie, thank you for a wonderful time in Cincinnati, and if I can be of any assistance, please feel free to call on me. Warm personal regards." On July 3, 1975, President GERALD R.
