Ford
does not borrow especially appreciable place in a number of post-war
Presidents of USA. People write and speak about him as though a rapid
speech. Ford is the sociable person without special claims on personal
qualities. He was not a picturesque figure as the President, as well as
not the good orator and the intellectual. Such fact that he was not the
"elected" president also harmed to his reputation. And he was
the President all the little more than two years. At
the same time validity demands to emphasize that administration of Ford -
Kissinger in general continued to follow generated by Nixon external
political rate that providing to a transition "from one era of
confrontation by one era of negotiations". Ford himself was not the
inspirer of any hostile anti-soviet actions. Moreover, it is necessary to
note that some events connected to board of Ford have left a positive
trace concerning USA and the USSR and an international situation of that
time. At last, at administration of Ford was finished the long-term war in
Vietnam. However
political portrait of Ford in all that links with the relations with USSR
was inconsistent. He has not accepted any practical measures to prevent
acceptance of the discrimination trading legislation concerning USSR. He
was the conservative on the belief; however he understood the necessity of
political maneuver, only in the limits.
Eventually, growing political instability of President Ford during
pre-election campaign has resulted to the policy of reduction
(detente)
was practically removed by him on a background.
