Congressional Investigation As the Minority Leader in the Senate Ford had fought to get a straight answer to a series of UFO sightings that had occurred in his home state of Michigan. His actions helped initiate a Congressional hearing for the subject in the late sixties. Here Ford is seen working with the President Nixon in 1971.
