Who narrated the final Bicentennial Minute broadcast on December 31, 1976?

Gerald Ford narrated the final Bicentennial Minute broadcast on December 31, 1976.

Bicentennial Minutes were one-minute CBS segments that connected daily broadcasts with events from the American Revolution two centuries earlier. The series began in 1974 and continued throughout the Bicentennial period.

The final segment was especially notable because Ford was the sitting president of the United States. It was also the longest Bicentennial Minute in the series. His wife, First Lady Betty Ford, narrated the installment broadcast on July 4, 1976.

Vice President Nelson Rockefeller narrated the segment on July 3, 1976. These appearances are sometimes confused because all three were prominent national figures involved in the 1976 celebrations, but the concluding broadcast belonged to President Ford.
