l, president of
Chamber of
rtply to a
fry the Local
President
Mgmrdtng the
I profits tax.)
ium:
lor your
to President
ling oil com
[regret that
Volume of mail
prevented an
Keu rosy know, in
[tothe Con
mr the price of
be gradually
the Presi
dent foresaw that this
could lead to undeserved
— and unearned — profits
for the oil producers.
Therefore, he also propos
ed a windfall profits tax
to help finance develop
ment of domestic alter
natives to imported oil, to
improve the transit
systems of our country
and to provide assistance
to elderly and other
needy families in purchas
ing heating oil.
In signing the windfall-
profits tax legislation, the
President pointed out
that all of the expen-
ditures of the funds
raised by this tax require
specific authorization and
appropriation through
the normal legislative
process. This will provide
some flexibility from year
to year to determine ex
actly how these funds will
be used for the best in
terests of our country.
After the basic pur
poses of low income
assistance, mass transit
and alternative forms of
energy have been met,
the Congressional Con
ference report gives
guidance that a substan
tial portion of the tax
revenues might be used
for income-tax reductions,
or in the absence of such
action by the Congress, to
reduce the national debt.
The President regards
passage of the windfall
prpfits tax legislation as a
great victory for the
American people and as
the keystone of an energy
policy which will make
this country energy self-
sufficient in the decades
to come. By reducing our
imports of oil we will also
be reducing one of the
main contributors to infla
tion during the past seve-
ral years.
We appreciate having
the opportunity to pre-
sent the President's
views on .this subject, and
we are pleased to send
you his best wishes.
Sincerely,
Daniel M. Chew
Director of Presidential
Correspondence

Those who qualify are
honored in state cere
monies and receive a cer
tificate and a copy of the
Family Land Heritage
Registry, in which are
printed old photographs
of the family and homes
as well as brief history of
the land.
"We have had excellent
cooperation from county
historical commission
chairpersons and from
county judges who have
helped to locate people in
their areas who might
qualify," Brown said.
"The Registry has
become a very popular
publication because it con
tains unique histories and
remembrances of families
who are the foundation of
Texas agriculture,"
Brown said. "Gencalo
gists and researchers in
other fields have found
this information very
beneficial."
Basic requirements in
elude the following: Con
tinuous agricultural pro
duction on the same land
for 100 years, ownership
of the land remaining in
the family, complete oper
ation or supervision of the
farm or ranch production
by family members, and a
size of at least 10 acres
with a minimum of $250
income from farm or
ranch products. If all of
the land has.ever been
rented out, the property
is ineligible. Timber and
recreational leases do not
qualify. The Texas
Department of Agri-
culture is the final judge
of eligibility.
Persons who meet the
basic qualifications and
wish to enter the program
can obtain an application
from the county judge,
county historical commis-
sion chairperson, the
nearest Texas Depart
ment of Agriculture
district office, or they
may write the Depart-
ment, P.O. Box 12847,
