Gerald Ford Swearing in Speech Signed UACC PADA

38th President. Signed Souvenir Transcript of Gerald R. Ford's Swearing in Speech. Dated August 9, 1974. Ford writes in part, "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. In all my public and private acts as your President, I expect to follow my instincts of openness and candor with full confidence that honesty is always the best policy in the end. My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule." Signed in his hand "Gerald R. Ford" A lovely piece of history, in excellent condition.
