2 16. JFK Assassination: Ford was close personal friends with JFK and after the assassination he was appointed by President Johnson to serve on the Warren Commission to investigate the murder. 17.

Two Pieces of Paper: Nixon s Chief of Staff, Alexander Haig, met with Ford and told him Nixon was thinking of resigning. Haig gave Ford two pieces of paper: the first was a summary of the President s power to pardon and the second was a draft pardon, in which Ford would only have to fill in Nixon s name. 25. Ford s Reaction and Nixon s Indecision: Ford and his staff did not like the pardon proposal because they believed it would be seen as a deal. Nixon, meanwhile, could not seem to make up his mind about resigning. 26. Nixon Resigns: As Nixon flew off in the helicopter, Ford told his wife, We re ready. He then walked back into the White House and took the oath for the office he never sought, the Presidency of the United States.

5 Name Class Date Biography Video Gerald Ford Part 2 1. Ford was sworn in as the 38 th President on August 9, 1974 as Nixon departed for California. 2. Even though he had not been elected, America liked its new president. Ford was much less formal than Nixon and Ford s family seemed like a regular family. 4. Unlike Nixon who had a complicated personality, people felt with Fort that what you saw is what you got. 5. America s honeymoon with Gerald Ford ended four weeks after he was sworn in with an announcement that enraged millions, the pardon of Richard Nixon. 6. Ford believed he had to pardon Richard Nixon and that it was the first step to getting America back on track. Ford s argued that if he had waited until Nixon was indicted, convicted, and went through all his appeals Watergate could have dragged out for three or four years 8. In 1974 Gerald Ford became a scapegoat for the country s anger and frustration over Watergate and Richard Nixon. 9. Ford was still feeling the heat from the pardon, when he faced his first crisis, a personal one, the first lady was diagnosed with having breast cancer. 10. Betty Ford had a mastectomy and the Fords went public with the information during a time when few people talked about having such an operation. 11. Millions of women were inspired by the First Lady to get medical checkups and hundreds of thousands of lives were saved. 12. Ford went to Vladivostok in the Soviet Union and signed a nuclear arms reduction package with Leonid Brezhnev. 13. After a decade of fighting America had had enough of fighting in Vietnam. Ford felt he could not abandon the South Vietnamese, however members of the Senate told Ford that the war was over, we re not going to give you any more money, pull the troops out. 14. Ford kept the American troops there until the last possible moment in order to save as many South Vietnamese as possible (those who would have been in jeopardy if left behind). 15. Less than two weeks after the fall of South Vietnam, Ford would tested by another crisis in South East Asia, one that could have led to the brink of another war. Only two weeks after the fall of Saigon, Cambodian forces seized the U.S. merchant ship, the Mayaguez in the Gulf of Siam. 17. Some advisors were worried that this might be the beginning of a Cambodian Communist takeover of Southeast Asia and they urged massive air strikes. Ford s personal photographer urged caution and Ford authorized limited airstrikes and a Marine rescue mission. 19. All Mayaguez crew members were rescued and Ford earned high marks for his handling of the situation, however, he was personally distressed that 41 Marines had lost their lives during the rescue mission.
6 20. The problems never stopped. On the domestic front Ford had to battle inflation as well as the worst recession in 30 years. 21. To stem the economic tide he vowed to oppose any new federal spending programs and used his presidential veto power more than 40 times. 22. In the summer of 1975 Ford was criticized for accepting the Soviet Union s invitation to attend the Helsinki conference on European security and cooperation. 23. Many worried that Ford would give too much away to the Soviets, but he was able to get the Soviets to agree to human rights agreements. 24. Ford thought he was doing a good job and decided to run for president in In September 1975 two attempts to assassinate President Ford were made by two different women within a period of 17 days. 26. Ford was made fun of by cartoonists and faced a political threat from Ronald Reagan, the former governor of California, who also wanted the Republican nomination for president. At the Republican Convention, Ford prevailed and won the nomination. 28. Ford started out his campaign trailing Democratic candidate Jimmy Carter in the polls. Slowly but surely Ford started gaining momentum. 29. Ford knew and understood most of the issues pretty well, but during his second debate with Carter he made a disastrous mistake when he said there was no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and Poland. 30. Ford lost to Carter in the 1976 election and after 28 years of public office he decided to retire. 31. At his inauguration, Carter paid tribute to Ford s efforts to heal the country. 32. In retirement Ford was able to earn a million dollars a year as a corporate investor and speech maker and owned two expensive homes in Palm Springs and Vale, Colorado. 33. Betty Ford had enjoyed being first lady and felt lost when she had to leave Washington. Betty began drinking again and she was still taking pain killers for an old neck injury. 35. Finally, the entire Ford family, led by the President, confronted Betty about her drug and alcohol abuse. Betty recovered and went on to help others by establishing the Better Ford Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center in Palm Springs, California. 37. As the years went by the jokes about Ford faded away, and more people began to appreciate Ford s honesty, hard work, and ability to heal the country after Watergate.
