Ford took the oath of office on August 9, 1974, he declared, "I assume the Presidency under extraordinary circumstances.... This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts." It was indeed an unprecedented time. He had been the first Vice President chosen under the terms of the Twenty-fifth Amendment and, in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, was succeeding the first President ever to resign. Ford was confronted with almost insuperable tasks. There were the challenges of mastering inflation, reviving a depressed economy, solving chronic energy shortages, and trying to ensure world peace. President Bush Biography Vice President Cheney Biography Laura Bush Biography Lynne Cheney Biography The President acted to curb the trend toward Government intervention and spending as a means of solving the problems of American society and the economy. In the long run, he believed, this shift would bring a better life for all Americans. Ford's reputation for integrity and openness had made him popular during his 25 years in Congress. From 1965 to 1973, he was House Minority Leader. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1913, he grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He starred on the University of Michigan football team, then went to Yale, where he served as assistant coach while earning his law degree. During World War II he attained the rank of lieutenant commander in the Navy. After the war he returned to Grand Rapids, where he began the practice of law, and entered Republican politics. A few weeks before his election to Congress in 1948, he married Elizabeth Bloomer. They have four children: Michael, John, Steven, and Susan.

Ford, thirty-eighth U.S. president On the resignation of South Vietnam's president "There was no pressure from here to force President Thieu to step down." (Washington, D.C., April 21, 1975) On April 21, 1975, Xuan Loc, Saigon's last line of defense against North Vietnamese forces, fell to the Communists. The same day, President Nguyen Van Thieu, leader of South Vietnam since 1967, announced his resignation. Knowing that the Communists would never negotiate with a hard-liner such as a Thieu, the U.S. ambassador in Vietnam had suggested to him that he resign. In his farewell address, Thieu chagrined the United States as "inhumane," and declared, "You ran away and left us to do the job that you could not." President Gerald Ford, speaking of the events from Washington, seemed more distant than his 10,000 miles from Saigon. On April 26, Thieu fled to Taiwan, and on April 27, Communist forces began shelling the South Vietnamese capital. On April 29, U.S. Armed Forces Radio played White Christmas

"Our First Line of Defense" Presidential Reflections on US Intelligence (U) Center for the Study of Intelligence GERALD R. FORD (Portrait) Gerald Ford became President after Richard Nixon resigned in August 1974. Ford's experience as a member of the intelligence subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee gave him a deep appreciation of the value of intelligence. Fundamental changes in the way CIA operated occurred during the Ford administration. Congressional oversight of CIA and its operations tightened as a result of the Church Committee hearings in 1975, which investigated alleged CIA misconduct. "IN THE WORLD IN WHICH WE live, beset by continuing threats to our national security, it is vital that we maintain an effective intelligence and counterintelligence capability. This capability is fundamental in providing the safeguards that protect our national interests and help avert armed conflict. The Central Intelligence Agency has had a notable record of many successes in this field, but by the nature of its operations, such successes and achievements cannot be divulged publicly. "It is essential in this republic that we meet our security requirements and at the same time avoid impairing our democratic institutions and fundamental freedoms. Intelligence activities must be conducted consistently with both objectives."
