On the recordJanuary 9, 2007
As I close, let me just first of all commend and thank Representative Ehlers for introducing this resolution. I also want to thank all of those who have come down and taken the time to speak. In summing up the life of President Gerald Ford, I am reminded of something that my mother used to tell us all the time, and that is that if a task is once begun, never leave until it is done; be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all. President Gerald Ford, wherever he was, did his work well, whether it was on the football field, at the university, in the halls of Congress, as Vice President and ultimately as President of the United States of America, and our country is a better place because of it.
