Digitized from Box 18 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 20, 1975 Office of the White House Press Secretary THE WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT It was with sorrow that I learned of the death of Generalissimo Francisco Franco who led his country for almost four decades through a significant era in Spanish history. With his passing, I express deepest sympathy to his wife and family on behalf of the Government and people of the United States. We wish the Spanish people and the Government of Spain well in the period ahead. The United States for its part will continue to pursue the policy of friendship and cooperation which has formed the touchstone for the excellent relations existing between our two countries. # # #
