GERALD R. FORD. Typed Transcript signed:
"Gerald R. Ford", "William L. Hungate",
"Elizabeth Holtzman", "Henry P. Smith III",
"Wiley Mayne", "Larry Hogan", "Bob
Kastenmeier", "David W. Dennis", "James R.
Mann" and "Don Edwards", 46p, 8½x14, separate
sheets. Washington, 1974 October 17. Headed: "Appearance by the
President/before the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice/Committee on the
Judiciary/House of Representatives/Rayburn House Office Building/10:00 A.M.
EDT". Testimony of President Ford relating to his unconditional pardon of
President Nixon on September 8, 1974, signed by President Ford, Committee
Chairman William L. Hungate and eight subcommittee members. During New York
Congresswoman HOLTZMAN's questioning (page 35) regarding "the suspicions
that were created by the circumstances of the pardon which you issued, the
secrecy with which it was issued, and the reasons for which it was issued which
made people question whether or not, in fact, it was a deal", an obviously
indignant President Ford interrupted: "May I comment there? I want to assure
you, the Members of the subcommittee, the Members of the Congress, and the
American people, there was no deal, period, under no circumstances." The
first signed transcript of this historic appearance we have ever seen.
Creased, worn with folds touching some signatures. Date stamped "Dec 9 1980"
at upper left margin. Stapled at upper left blank corners, first and last pages
have separated. 1¼-inch tear at lower left blank corner of last page (all paper
intact).
