Gerald Ford actually said...

"I am confident that concerns about leasing exploration and development of the Outer Continental Shelf can be addressed openly and fairly."

"If all Americans will pull together to hold down prices, to buy wisely, to increase productivity, and to save energy, this citizens' mobilization to slow inflation can and will work."

"We must proceed with a program that is designed to develop these resources."

"If our studies show that development cannot occur in a particular area without unacceptable risk, then we will not hold a lease sale."
