This article begins by claiming that "President Ford, who assumed office in August 1974, was relatively inexperienced in foreign affairs. He therefore relied almost exclusively on Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's expertise and advice." Although this view was promulgated at the time (mainly by those opposed to Secretary of State Kissinger and trying to inflate the importance of his influence), this no longer reflects the consensus among historians. I am about to edit this article to revise this statement, and to include detail on the National Security Council's defining moment during the Ford administration: the Mayaguez incident.
