Gerald Ford actually said...

"I believe this new bill represents a sound, constructive approach and I would urge its adoption by the Congress."

"Once again, therefore, I urge the Congress to turn its attention to meeting the real needs of the aged and of the taxpayer."

"I recommend that the Senate give favorable consideration to this Protocol at an early date."

"I also urge the House Judiciary Committee to consider my proposal at the time of its initial hearings on this matter later this week."
