Mondale urges Gartner to quit Fed agency amid gifts row
Vice President Mondale said he hopes friend David Gartner will resign from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission after Gartner accepted gifts of Archer Daniels Midland stock for his children. Mondale noted Carter had publicly urged Gartner to step down and stressed the gifts created an ethical cloud undermining public trust. Gartner prepared to testify on the stock gift before the Senate Agriculture Committee, with Gartner’s resignation discussions already underway among White House aides.
