Executive Order
RP 62Honoring the memory of the thirty-eighth President of the United States
of America, Gerald R. Ford.
WHEREAS, the nation lost a humble leader with a gentle spirit this
week with the passing of President Gerald R. Ford on Tuesday, De-
cember 26, 2006; and
WHEREAS, as president, Gerald R. Ford restored honesty and candor
to government, ushering in a new era of national healing in the after-
math of Watergate that thrust him into the presidency during a time of
growing economic uncertainty with rising inflation and a looming en-
ergy crisis; and
WHEREAS, President Ford led America during an era of difficult for-
eign policy challenges, including the Soviet Union's aspirations for
world domination and the resolution of the conflict in Vietnam; and
WHEREAS, Gerald R. Ford lived a long life of distinguished public
service, serving in the Pacific Theater in the United States Navy during
World War II, in the United States House of Representatives during
twelve terms from 1949 to 1973, and as minority leader from 1965 to
1973; and
WHEREAS, Gerald R. Ford was an icon not only in politics but as a
member of two national championship football teams at the University
of Michigan; and
WHEREAS, Gerald R. Ford's wife, Betty, is an inspiration to millions
of Americans who have battled cancer and addiction, showing there is
hope in the midst of adversity; and
WHEREAS, in retirement, President Ford used the years following
his presidency to urge bipartisan unity on the critical issues facing the
country; and
WHEREAS, it seems fitting to publicly set aside a day of mourning so
all Texans can reflect on the life and person of Gerald R. Ford;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, by virtue of
the power and authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of
the State of Texas as the Chief Executive Officer, do hereby order the
following:
Tuesday, January 2, 2007, shall be recognized as an official Day of
Mourning. The people of Texas are encouraged to gather, assemble,
and pay their respects to the memory of Gerald R. Ford through ap-
propriate ceremonies in homes, businesses, public buildings, schools,
places of worship, or other appropriate places for public expression of
grief and remembrance.
To allow state employees to attend such observances, state agencies,
offices, and departments shall be closed on that day; except those agen-
cies, offices, and departments that the heads thereof determine should
remain open with a sufficient number of employees for reasons of pub-
lic safety and essential public business pursuant to Sections 662.003,
662.004 and 662.022 of the Texas Government Code.
In addition, and in accordance with a proclamation issued by the Pres-
