Gerald Ford actually said...

"I call the Nation's attention once again to the continuing inability of the Congress to meet the real needs of the American taxpayer."

"I urge the Senate to act favorably at an early date on this Convention and its related exchange of notes and to give its advice and consent to ratification."

"I call upon all State and local governments, business, labor and other organizations, as well as schools, civic groups, and the media to observe Fire Prevention Week."

"I urge all citizens to work with their families and communities to learn and practice the basic rules of fire safety."
