Rockefeller Nomination Seen Certain to Clear Senate Vote
Vice President-designate Nelson Rockefeller has completed confirmation hearings and is likely to win congressional approval within two weeks. House Judiciary Committee support appears strong, with at most 12 of 38 opposed, while Senate action Tuesday is expected to be more decisive. Rockefeller denied concealing a $30,000 loan and disputed using poor judgment in gifts totaling $625,000 to William J. Rowan, and said Laurance Rockefeller’s loan was not a cover up.
