Description
President Gerald Ford is pictured with his family in the Oval Office on the morning after Mr. Ford lost the 1976 election to Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter. Minutes after the photo was taken, the family went to the press briefing area, where Mr. Ford's wife, Betty Ford, made the concession speech because the president was too hoarse to talk. Leaning against President Ford is his daughter, Susan. (November 3, 1976)
