Gerald Ford actually said...

"The United States must play a very major role in world affairs in the years ahead."

"I believe to be successful in this effort, this endeavor, the Congress and the President must work together."

"I think we have an obligation to continue to have a presence in the Pacific, in Latin America, in Africa."

"I can assure you that what I have said on more than one occasion, I believe and I will try to implement, that I will work with the Congress."
