BIOGRAPHY
Ford announces Nixon pardon
Remarks on Taking the Oath of Office as President
“It is only fitting then that I should pledge to you that I will be the President of all
the people”
“To the peoples and the governments of all friendly nations, I
pledge an uninterrupted and sincere search for
peace. America will remain strong and
united, but its strength will remain
dedicated to the safety and sanity of the entire family of
man, as well as to our own precious
freedom”
“I believe that truth is the glue that holds
government together, not only our
Government but civilization itself. That bond, though strained, is unbroken at home
and abroad”
“I have come to a decision which I felt I should tell you and all of my fellow American citizens, as soon
as I was certain in my own mind and in my own conscience that it is the right thing to do”
Speech on Signing a Proclamation Granting Pardon to President Nixon
“Theirs is an American tragedy in which we all have played a part. It could go on and on and on, or
someone must write the end to it. I have concluded that only I can do that, and if I can, I must”
