Gerald Ford actually said...

"You are concerned, the American people are concerned, and you all have good reason to be concerned."

"I am committed to the basic grant program, but I could not at this time reasonably expect that in 2 years we could fully fund this program at the new level."

"The Ford administration has achieved the peace, and we are strong and diplomatically skillful."

"I have a lot more faith in you than I do in them."
