- Description of Pictures: President Ford’s Washington and the World: The National Archives hosts a tribute to President Gerald R. Ford featuring presentations by distinguished Americans including Henry Kissinger, 56th U.S. Secretary of State (1973–1977), and David Gergen, political commentator, best-selling author of Eyewitness to Power, and adviser to Presidents for more than 30 years. They will be joined by James Cannon, assistant to President Ford for Domestic Affairs and author of Time and Chance: Gerald Ford's Appointment with History, and Carla Hills, Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development during Ford's administration. Historian, biographer, and nationally recognized authority on the American Presidency Richard Norton Smith will moderate.
These and other eyewitnesses to history will discuss the national and global impact of the Ford administration at a critical time in American history. The discussion will include such historic national milestones as the withdrawal of American forces from Vietnam, the admission of Vietnamese refugees, the pardon of former President Richard M. Nixon, and the offer of amnesty to those who left the country to avoid the draft, as well as many important international moments, such as the signing of the Helsinki Accords. The speakers will detail how these significant events, among others, shaped history during Ford’s Presidency and how the policies created then still reverberate.
Welcoming remarks were made by Allen Weinstein, Archivist of the United States.
Introductory remarks were made by The Honorable Bill Scranton, Governor of Pennsylvania 1963-67, US Ambassador to the United Nations, 1976-77.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
- NAGF_060619_004.JPG: Allen Weinstein and Carla Hills
- NAGF_060619_013.JPG: Left to right:
* Bill Scranton, Governor of Pennsylvania 1963-67, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, 1976-77.
* William T. Coleman Jr. (former clerk to famed SC justice Felix Frankfurter, former colleague of Thurgood Marshall who helped to write the brief for Brown v. Board, former Secretary of Transportation under President Ford, recipient of the Medal of Freedom in 1995).
- NAGF_060619_065.JPG: With a reputation that was more than a little problematic, Henry Kissinger passed on November 29, 2023. He was National Security Advisor (1969-1975) under Richard Nixon and Secretary of State (1973-1977) under Gerald Ford. His role in the Vietnam War was scary but it resulted in him winning a Nobel Peace Prize in 1973. He was also a key architect of opening relations with our good friends, the Chinese.
