The White House
Washington D.C. 20500
United States of America
Dear Mr. President
The Government and people of Barbados join me in conveying
our deepest sympathy to the Government and people of the
United States of America at the passing of former President
Gerald R. Ford.
President Ford took the reins of power at a difficult and
unprecedented moment in American history but, armed with
integrity, frankness and commonsense, he managed to heal
American society while working to achieve peace in the Middle
East and maintaining US power and prestige during the Cold
War. He will be remembered for his sterling contribution to
American politics.
I wish to take this opportunity to extend sincere condolences
to President Ford's family who will be in our thoughts and
prayers in their period of sorrow.
Accept, Dear Mr. President, the assurances of my highest
consideration.
Owen S. Arthur
Prime Minister
