In part: 'I believe that truth is the glue that holds government together, not only our government, but civilization itself. That bond, though strained, is unbroken at home and abroad….My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule.' Signed at the conclusion in black ink by Ford. Large block of uniform toning covering the text and signature, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
