Apart from the surprising non sequitur that Nixon's resignation and Ford's ascendancy to the Oval Office would destroy Nixonian policies, the speech was an indication that Ford may have been sandbagged by the White House. Some White House aides had been told of the impending tape report, while Ford apparently had not. Yet he later gamely contended that he still believed what he had said.

They were supplied with the now-celebrated Uher 5000 tape recorder used by Rose Mary Woods for transcribing subpoenaed tapes, another White House Uher recorder for comparison, as well as Miss Woods' lamp and typewriter...
