Thurmond blasts Scripps-Howard report as ridiculous
U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond called a Scripps-Howard story on his 1974 Far East trip ridiculous and politically motivated. He said the piece contained inaccuracies and noted his campaign travel with Ford officials and aides. Edward Kenney defended the trip details and explained items aboard belonged to crew, not the Thurmonds. The senator described the two-week mission as the hardest trip he ever took.
