A Fascinating Photo from President Ford’s Administration on the Day After Nixon’s Resignation

by

Here’s a fascinating old photo from President Ford’s Administration. It was taken on August 10th, 1974. That’s important because Nixon resigned the previous day (remember, Nixon’s not a crook). Is it just me, or does he seem to be a little too happy to be there? Maybe the expression on his face is more akin to “how the hell did I get here?”

Schlesinger, Secretary of Defense; William P. Clements, Jr., Deputy Secretary of Defense; George S. Brown, Chairman of Joint Chiefs.

  1. Is that Rumsfeld (was Chief of Staff for Ford ) and Brent Scowcroft (who was a military assistant under Nixon and National Security Adviser for Ford) over Kissinger’s shoulder?
