President Bush Extends Condolences, Mourns Loss of Gerald R. Ford

About Photo: President George W. Bush delivers a statement on the passing of former President Gerald R. Ford from Crawford, Texas, Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2006. "As a congressman from Michigan, and then as Vice President, he commanded the respect and earned the good will of all who had the privilege of knowing him," said President Bush. "On August 9, 1974, he stepped into the presidency without ever having sought the office. He assumed power in a period of great division and turmoil. For a nation that needed healing and for an office that needed a calm and steady hand, Gerald Ford came along when we needed him most."
