"My NYSE Group colleagues and I join all Americans in mourning the loss of President Ford, a man of great integrity and vision, and a dedicated public servant," said NYSE Group, Inc. CEO John A. Thain. "He assumed a troubled presidency in a critical time, and thoughtfully and skillfully restored credibility and confidence in the presidency. President Ford also made significant contributions to the stability and vitality of the U.S. economy and financial markets. It is appropriate that we honor President Ford and celebrate the life of a truly great American."
