Letter from Norman Lear to First Lady Betty Ford Regarding her “60 Minutes” Interview

norman lear August 13, 1975 Dear Mrs. Ford, As a parent and as a citizen I want to congratulate you for allowing all of us to share your warmth and candor and humanity. I'm convinced that people everywhere are grateful to you. Only some of our leaders, thinking they speak on the people's behalf, are uptight. My prayer is that you will have helped them to realize that. Sincerely, Mrs. Gerald Ford First Lady The White House Washington, D.C.
