During his brief term, Ford made one U.S. Supreme Court appointment, nominating Justice John Paul Stevens, a moderate, to replace retiring Justice William O. Douglas in 1975. Ford became the first U.S. president to travel to Japan on an official visit, in 1974, and the first chief executive to survive two assassination attempts.
