WASHINGTON — Gerald R. Ford leaves his beloved U.S. Capitol for the last time Tuesday as the period set aside for ordinary Americans to say goodbye gives way to an elaborate invitation-only funeral at the awe-inspiring Washington National Cathedral.
As the first order of business Tuesday, Ford's remains were being removed from the Rotunda to lie in repose briefly outside the Senate before leaving the Capitol where Ford served as a congressman for 25 years. As vice president, Ford also had the constitutional title of president of the Senate.

He had some kind of major oral surgery many weeks ago that caused that. I'm really surprised it's still showing.
Love the way he said Ecclesiastes in Texas style - 'Clesiastes.

Kissinger speaking. President Ford loved him. He sounds like he's truly sad and I'm sure he is.

Henry Kissinger, now. "According to tradition, there are ten men whose decency causes God to spare mankind for its transgressions...Gerald Ford was such a man."
Everyone please remember that Secretary Kissinger is Jewish. I think that is a very nice statement.
