Home Newswire About Us Donate ... Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Thursday, December 6, 2001 by Agence France Presse US Endorsed Indonesia's East Timor Invasion: Secret Documents The United States offered full and direct approval to Indonesia's 1975 invasion of East Timor, a move by then-president Suharto which consigned the territory to 25 years of oppression, official documents released Thursday show. The documents prove conclusively for the first time that the United States gave a 'green light' to the invasion, the opening salvo in an occupation that cost the lives of up to 200,000 East Timorese. General Suharto briefed US president Gerald Ford and his secretary of state Henry Kissinger on his plans for the former Portuguese colony hours before the invasion, according to documents collected by George Washington University's National Security Archive. When Ford and Kissinger called in Jakarta on their way back from a summit in Beijing on December 6, 1975, Suharto claimed that in the interests of Asia and regional stability, he had to bring stability to East Timor, to which Portugal was trying to grant autonomy. "We want your understanding if we deem it necessary to take rapid or drastic action," Suharto told his visitors, according to a long classified State Department cable.

Straightforward and honest, a man of recognized decency, he traced his personal qualities back to his Midwestern childhood. Raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, by his mother and stepfather, Ford didn't learn that he was adopted until he was almost fifteen. "My stepfather was a magnificent person," he remembered, "and my mother equally wonderful. So I couldn't have written a better prescription for a superb family upbringing." Ford grew up to become an outstanding football player, serving as captain of his high school team, then playing all through his years at the University of Michigan. At Yale University, where he attended law school, he worked on the side as a football coach. When he returned home at the end of World War II, in which he served overseas as a navy combat officer, it was with a new feeling for public service. "I came back a converted internationalist," he recalled, "and of course our congressman at that time was an avowed, dedicated isolationist. And I thought he ought to be replaced. Nobody thought I could win. I ended up winning two to one."

69. Character Above All: Gerald Ford Essay Essay provides a brief look at the circumstances and events that molded the president's character. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/character/essays/ford.html

GERALD R. FORD Excerpted from an essay by James Cannon Gerald R. Ford became President not because he was popular with the American public, not because he campaigned for the job, but because of his character. More than any other president of this century, Ford was chosen for his integrity and trustworthiness; his peers in Congress put him in the White House because he told the truth and kept his word. He was nominated for Vice President after Spiro Agnew was forced to resign to avoid indictment for accepting bribes. Ford was confirmed by a House and Senate that expected him to replace a President who was also facing indictment for crimes...... Ford personified what Nixon was not. Ford was honest. He could be trusted. Throughout twenty-five years in the House of Representatives, Ford had proved himself to be a man of integrity. It was for that integrity that the highest powers of Congress, Democratic and Republican, chose Ford to be Vice President, knowing that Nixon's presidency was doomed...... Surely character begins at home, and in Ford's case we know for certain that it began with his mother.

F AMOUS C LIP A RT: Gerald R. Ford created and edited by Blake Linton Wilfong a.k.a. The Wondersmith! You must read and agree to the before using Famous ClipArt images. Gerald R. Ford (1913- ), 38th President of the United States, the only President elected neither to the presidency, nor to the vice-presidency. During his brief two and a half year term, he attempted to restore confidence in a government tarnished by the Watergate scandal. Gerald Rudolph Ford was born on July 14, 1913, in Omaha, Nebraska. He was named Leslie Lynch King, Jr. His father, Leslie Lynch King, Sr., and his mother, Dorothy Gardner King, were divorced about two years after his birth. His mother took him to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she met and married Gerald R. Ford, owner of a small paint company. Ford adopted the boy and gave him his name. The child, known as "Jerry", grew up with three younger half brothers. The depression years caused a hardship for the family, and almost wiped out the elder Ford's business. Jerry waited on tables and washed dishes at a local restaurant. A strong boy who excelled in sports, he was named to the all-state team in his senior year of high school. At the University of Michigan, he played center on the undefeated Michigan football teams of 1932 and 1933. In 1935, the year of his graduation, he was selected as a College All-Star. He went on to coach football and boxing at Yale University for five years. In 1938 he began taking law courses, and was in the top third of his class when he received his degree from Yale Law School in 1941. That year he was admitted to the bar and practiced law for a short time before enlisting in the United States Navy in 1942. He saw action in the South Pacific, and on his discharge in 1946 had risen to rank of lieutenant commander.

Gerald Ford Site Links Home Search this site Privacy Policy Resources Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr. (born July 14 , 1913 ) (born Leslie Lynch King, Jr. , renamed after adoption) was the fortieth ( 1973 - 1974 ) Vice President and the thirty-eighth ( 1974 - 1977 ) President of the United States . He remains the only President to serve without being elected to either the presidency or vice presidency. Order: 38th President Term of Office: August 9, 1974 - January 20, 1977 Rise to the Presidency Ford was a member of the House of Representatives for 24 years from 1949 - 1973 , and became Minority Leader of the House. After Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned during Richard Nixon 's presidency, on October 10 , 1973 , Nixon appointed Ford to take Agnew's place. The United States Senate voted 92 to 3 to confirm Ford on November 27 , 1973 and on December 6 , the House confirmed him 387 to 35. When Nixon then resigned in the wake of the Watergate scandal , Ford assumed the presidency, proclaiming that "our long national nightmare is over". One month later, Ford gave Nixon a blanket pardon for any crimes he might have committed while President or indeed anything else he might have done - a move that many historians believe cost him election in 1976 . Presidency The economy was a great concern during the Ford administration. In response to rising inflation, Ford went before the American public on television in October, 1974 and asked them to "whip inflation now" (WIN); as part of this program, he urged people to wear "WIN" buttons. However, most people recognized this as simply a public relations gimmick without offering any effective means of solving the underlying problem. At the time inflation was around 7%, a relatively modest number in restrospect, but still enough to discourage investment and push capital overseas and into government bonds.

Agnew as Vice President of the United States; on Dec. 6, 1973, he became Vice President, the first to be appointed under the procedures specified by the 25th Amendment. As Vice President, Ford traveled widely around the country, attempting to rally for the Nixon administration the support that had eroded as a result of the Watergate affair . His tenure as Vice President was short, however; when Nixon resigned on Aug. 9, 1974, Ford became President. He pledged to continue Nixon's foreign policy and to work to curb inflation. One month later he issued a complete pardon to Nixon for all criminal acts perpetrated by Nixon while he was President. In the 1974 election the Republicans suffered substantial losses, attributable both to Watergate and to the economy. To deal with the economic recession, Ford proposed (1975) tax cuts, limited social spending (with continued high defense expenditure), and heavy taxation on imported oil. The Democratic Congress opposed many elements of the program. Ford was defeated by Democrat Jimmy Carter in the 1976 presidential election.

President Gerald R. Ford's Remarks on Signing a Proclamation Granting Pardon to Richard Nixon September 8, 1974 Listen to excerpts from the speech as delivered by President Ford in .wav format (file size 2.3 MB) Ladies and gentlemen: 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. I have learned already in this office that the difficult decisions always come to this desk. I must admit that many of them do not look at all the same as the hypothetical questions that I have answered freely and perhaps too fast on previous occasions. My customary policy is to try and get all the facts and to consider the opinions of my countrymen and to take counsel with my most valued friends. But these seldom agree, and in the end, the decision is mine. To procrastinate, to agonize, and to wait for a more favorable turn of events that may never come or more compelling external pressures that may as well be wrong as right, is itself a decision of sorts and a weak and potentially dangerous course for a President to follow. I have promised to uphold the Constitution, to do what is right as God gives me to see the right, and to do the very best that I can for America.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History FORD, GERALD , thirty-eighth president of the United States. Ford served in the House of Representatives from the Fifth District of Michigan beginning in 1949 and was elected minority leader in 1965. Under the provisions of the Twenty-fifth Amendment, President Richard M. Nixon chose him in 1973 to be vice president following the resignation of Vice President Spiro T. Agnew. Upon the resignation of Nixon himself in the face of likely impeachment, Ford became president on August 9, 1974. He named as his vice president Nelson A. Rockefeller, former governor of New York, thus completing the only unelected presidential team in American history. Ford had no clear-cut political agenda, pledging only to end the "long national nightmare" provoked by the Watergate affair. A month after becoming president, he startled the nation by granting Nixon an unconditional pardon for any offenses he may have committed against the United States. A storm of protest arose, amid cries that a deal had been struck. No one has made the allegation stick, although Ford and Nixon were in constant negotiations before and after Ford took the presidential oath. Ford, keenly sensitive to the lingering suspicions, has insisted that his sole aim was to help heal the wounds of the nation. With poor timing, he announced only a few days after the pardon his amnesty proposal for Vietnam draft resisters and evaders. Unlike Nixon, they would have to meet conditions.
