Gerald Ford delivered his remarks upon assuming the office of the president on August 9th, 1974. Read by Susan Swain, author, journalist & co-CEO of C-SPAN. Assuming the presidency after the resignation of Richard Nixon, Ford would go on to serve a partial term of 2 years and 164 days. He would pardon his predecessor, an unpopular move that contributed to his loss against Jimmy Carter. Part of his reasoning: “That purpose was to change our national focus. I wanted to do all I could to shift our attentions from the pursuit of a fallen President to the pursuit of the urgent needs of a rising nation. Our nation is under the severest of challenges now to employ its full energies and efforts in the pursuit of a sound and growing economy at home and a stable and peaceful world around us.”
