that year richard nixon had run for re-election. and easily defeated the democratic nominee, george mcgovern. it was a landslide victory for nixon. yet the democrats retained control of congress. and ford thought to himself, my gosh, if the democrats can put up a candidate as bad as mcgovern yet still hold on to congress, certainly the house of representatives, i don't see how i'll ever become speaker. so he says to betty, look, here's what i would like to do. i want to stay in office for two more terms. that will bring me to the end of nixon's second and in the constitution, a last term of office, and then i'll retire. and they was thrilled. finally, i'm going to be able to spend time with my husband. finally i'll get my husband back. that was before a series of unprecedented events brought ford into the white house. i think many of the people here in this room remember in october of 1973, the vice president was forced to resign taking bribes. nixon asked his individuals in congress, who should i nominate to replace agnew? and over

at the time richard nixon, i think in the johnson/nixon area became the idea of self determination that's act was passed to really give the tribes more responsibility rather than the federal government doing all these difrp things for us. different things for us. that's when we seen this transition into empowerment. of tribes to live self-determined, in other words xtd -- today we're in an area of self-governance where tribes basically contracted for the funding that they basically ran these programs themselves. they just hired their own people. they hired whoever they wanted to hire. didn't have to really use indian health service, you know, employees to really -- and some tribes still do that today. our health care really seems self governance funding. we run the health center ourselves with certain amount of federal funding. we do that. i think we've come a long way. our strength is we're located in the city. all we have to do is buy properties and bring the businesses into the tribe. in rural, nevada, may not ruin businesses even if you were to buy piece of land. so the strength of us

was his pardon of richard nixon inevitable. historians don't let the word inevitability. and i'm not sure. i don't want to say inevitable, but i think given the situation given who ford was given his belief that whether it be nixon's suffered enough or that the nation had to focus on what he considered more important issues that he had to get nixon behind him. and so in that respect the pardon was inevitable, but i just i don't like the word because we've talked about inevitability then that leaves on the possibility for for variables other variables getting involved, but i do think that this was something for certainly something a believed had to happen. why did ronald reagan challenge gerald ford in 1975 1976 and did ford detest him for that? why did reagan challenge ford at 76 and why did ended for to test him for that reagan felt that ford was taking positions that he believed were not in line with weather. republican party should be going a reagan came from the conservative wing in the party. he felt that ford was adopting a number of positions that were bad position

now, imagine being in the shoes of richard nixon. he had a pretty well earned reputation as a come news buster and along comes a democrat from massachusetts suggesting that he, richard nixon, was not quite anti-communist enough. it was galloning. kennedy managed to out-frank nixon as an anti-communist hog. probably the best example occurred in one of the nixon/kennedy television debates. not the first, the one that's most famous, but the fourth debate. it may have been the most important in the campaign. at the very least it offered a glimpse in the wonderful strangeness that was richard nixon. kennedy had come out in the press the previous day with a statement about cuba. in his statement kennedy suggested that the eisenhower administration was being neglect about castro and that they out to find a way to help anti-castro cubeens take up arms against castro. of course this was what the eisenhower administration was trying to do. when nixon saw this in the newspapers he was outraged. somebody in the cia, he thought, must have told ke

imagine being in the shoes of richard nixon. he had a pretty well-earned reputation as a communist buster, one of the premiere communist busters in america, and along comes this democrat from massachusetts suggesting that he, richard nixon, was not quite anti-communist enough. it was galling. kennedy had somehow managed to outflank nixon as an anti-communist hawk. probably the best example of this occurred in one of the nixon/kennedy television debates. not the first debate, the one that's most famous, but the fourth debate. this debate may have been the most important in the campaign. at the very least it offered a glimpse into the wonderful strangeness that was richard nixon. kennedy had come out in the press the previous day with a statement about cuba. in his statement, kennedy suggested the eisenhower administration was being negligent against castro and they ought to find some way to help anti-castro cubans take up arms against castro. of course, this is exactly what the eisenhower administration was trying to do. when nix

that was richard nixon. kennedy had come out in the press the previous day with a statement about cuba. in a statement kennedy suggested that the eisenhower administration was being negligent about castro and that they really ought to find some way to help anti-castro cubans. take up arms against castro. of course, this was exactly what the eisenhower administration was trying to do. when nixon saw this in the newspapers, he was outraged. somebody in the cia. he thought must have told kennedy about the cia's plan. and now kennedy was claiming this as his own idea when in fact he richard nixon had been pushing for this operation for months. but nixon couldn't say that because it was a covert operation. so he just had to shut up and let kennedy pretend the whole thing was his idea. or that's probably what he should have done. but that is not in fact what nixon did instead in the fourth debate. he lashed out at kennedy's statement denouncing it as irresponsible and foolish. you have a long thoughtful argument a
