That's reasonable, but I'd expect Nixon to be talking about healing at the time of his resignation (to deflect from all the stuff he did that made it necessary to resign), and Ford to be talking about healing at the time of the pardon (to deflect from all the stuff he had just let Nixon get away with). For Nixon to be urging healing right after being pardoned would strike me as an overabundance of chutzpah.
