Gerald Ford actually said...

The United States Government was pleased to be able to offer 300,000 tons of wheat under PL 480 Title I for immediate delivery.

I am particularly grateful for your vital work in shaping and guiding to enactment the Pension Reform Bill of 1974.

I wish to compliment Bill on the job that he did, again, during a period of great difficulty.

I expressed my warm appreciation for this invitation, and reiterated my hope that the visit would be possible later this year.
