President Ford asked David Hume Kennerly,  a young Vietnam combat photographer and Pulitzer Prize winner,  to join his White House and document his presidency. Kennerly asked for -- and was granted --  unfettered access to the new president. In this oral history recorded for the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, Kennerly recalls not only his time with President Ford, but also his coverage of Richard Nixon from his 1968 presidential campaign through his 1974 resignation.
