Gerald Ford actually said...

"The national interest requires that Congress draw a firm spending and deficit line."

"I ask all Americans to close ranks, to avoid recrimination about the past, to look ahead to the many goals we share, and to work together on the great tasks that remain to be accomplished."

"I commend the personnel of the Armed Forces who accomplished it as well as Ambassador Graham Martin and the staff of his mission, who served so well under difficult conditions."

"I therefore ordered the evacuation of all American personnel remaining in South Vietnam."
