This series consists almost entirely of the reading copies of President Ford's 1,051 public messages. Related and supporting materials appear occasionally and include preliminary drafts and, less frequently, background material. In addition to speeches there are veto messages, legislative messages to Congress, statements accompanying bill signing, presidential proclamations, miscellaneous messages and greetings to private organizations, press conference statements and numerous less formal "drop-in" remarks and talking points. For convenience in delivery, most public messages were prepared in large type face on large index cards. They are very often heavily annotated in his hand, especially underlining for speaking emphasis.
