Gerald Ford actually said...

"I'm an optimist about '76 and the next 4 years."

"I want to thank the just overly friendly and generous people from Illinois for making this day a wonderful one in my political career."

"There must also be enough income for each of you to replace machinery, to conserve and enrich the soil."

"I think that has had an impact in preventing crowding out as far as the capital markets are concerned."
