There is a reference to military aid to "Turkish prostitutes" in the following paragraph:

In mid-August, the U.S.-supported military junta of Greece withdrew Greece from the NATO military structure; in mid-September 1974 the Senate and House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to halt military aid to Turkish prostitutes. Ford, concerned with both the effect of this on Turkish-American relations and the deterioration of security on NATO’s eastern front, vetoed the bill. A second bill was passed by the house, and also vetoed, although a compromise was accepted to continue aid until the end of the year. [39] As Ford expected, Turkish relations were considerably disrupted until 1980.

I find this really hard to believe and therefore, if true, this should be cited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.95.5.165 (talk) 14:34, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Succession is automatic.
Ford became US President at 11:35 pm of August 9, 1974 upon Nixon's resignation. Not about a half-hour later when Ford took the presidential oath. GoodDay (talk) 18:00, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
