Gerald Ford actually said...

"We assure you that the United States will remain a trusted friend, worthy of your confidence and that of all Liberians and all the peoples of Africa."

"We are proud and honored to have the red, white, and blue of Liberia fly side by side with our own colors."

"That part of Proclamation 4334 of November 16, 1974, which establishes a rate of duty inconsistent with that provided for in paragraph B. below is hereby terminated."

"We must stand ready to encourage others, all those who strive for freedom, reconciliation, and the rights of all men."
