President Ford made those arrangements. As I recall, the present president(in this case President George W. Bush) and those chosen by President Ford would be the speakers. Tom Brokaw said President Ford called him last year to speak. Mr. Brokaw gave an excellent speech.

I know that Ford made the arrangements. I am just wondering why Clinton didn't speak. Every other ex-president spoke. Since Ford is considered such a healer, and since they all spoke at Nixon's funeral, you would think Clinton would have been on the docket somewhere. Frankly, I think it is great if he were snubbed, but I haven't seen or heard mention of it anywhere. There has to be a reason.
