Gerald Ford
The Public Record
Gerald Rudolph Ford was the 38th President of the United States, serving from August 9, 1974, to January 20, 1977. A member of the Republican Party, Ford was born in Michigan and previously served as the U.S. House of Representatives member from 1949 to 1973. He also held the position of House Minority Leader from 1965 until he became President. Ford is particularly known for his efforts to heal the nation following the Watergate scandal and for his controversial decision to pardon former President Richard Nixon.
I am totally committed to close cooperation between the Congress and the Executive.
This public works bill is troublesome because it would increase the 1975 outlays by $80 million above the budget.
I HAVE signed H.R. 15155, a public works appropriations bill for fiscal year 1975.
I have therefore decided to sign this bill with the hope and expectation that under the budget act, the Congress will work in cooperation with the executive branch.
I am strongly opposed to those increases because they would intensify our number one problem--inflation.
You are making a tremendous contribution to better world understanding.
Competitive athletics contributes very significantly to a better world for all of us.
Mrs. Ford and I extend our sincere condolences to Mrs. Lindbergh and the family.
I think that is a tremendously favorable statistic that we can all be proud of.
Herb Stein, in my judgment, from my view, has been a model helpmate, adviser to public servants.
we will also remember the selfless, sincere man himself, Charles A. Lindbergh.
I think all of us are here tonight to say goodbye to a trusted friend and a very valued adviser.
I ask only one thing: Just remember the trenches a bit when you get back up to that ivory tower.
Prompt and aggressive action against inflation is precisely what America needs.
We face an uphill road, and we will make it through only if we all pull together.
