Looking for a present for someone who’s hard to shop for? Consider the gift of calculator humor!
When President Ford traveled to the Far East in November 1974 he did some early Christmas shopping, picking up pocket calculators in Japan. He planned to give them to his friends and colleagues in Congress.
Back home President Ford personally made a list of the recipients:
The calculators went to Speaker of the House Carl Albert, House Majority Leader Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill, House Minority Leader John Rhodes, House Minority Whip Les Arends, President pro tempore of the Senate James Eastland, Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, Senate Majority Whip Robert Byrd, Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, and Senate Minority Whip Robert Griffin. The President might have forgotten to check it twice, however, since House Majority Whip John McFall was later added.
President Ford sent a letter with the devices that included special operating instructions:
“It is an excellent pocket calculator–but it also has other accomplishments. For instance, if you punch 77340 into the calculator and then turn it upside down, you will see what the Republicans said after the 1974 elections.”
“But this little machine is also a fortune-telling calculator–and if you punch in 3507 and turn it upside down, you will see what we don’t intend to do in 1976!”
Based on the thank you letters sent to President Ford the calculators were well received. Speaker Carl Albert reported, “I am having a lot of fun with it, and I am finding it very useful.” John Rhodes wrote that “I will treasure always the pocket calculator and its special message for 1976!”
