Reagan Plans Trip to Truman’s Birthplace to Urge Tax Reform
President Reagan will begin his fall campaign for tax reform with a Labor Day speech in Independence, Mo., at a festival commemorating pioneer days, a White House spokesman said Monday.
Reagan will fly to the birthplace of President Harry S. Truman at the end of his vacation at his mountaintop ranch near here and is to speak in front of the Jackson County Courthouse, where Truman once served as a member of the county governing board.
The event is part of a celebration commemorating the city’s importance in pioneer days as the junction of the Santa Fe, California and Oregon Trails, spokesman Larry Speakes said. Reagan will return to Washington on Monday night.
