Ford to explain energy plan very forcibly to public
President Ford told Republican congressional leaders he will present his energy recovery plan very forcibly to the American people to win support against a Democratic majority.

Ford aims to unveil major legislation before Congress by month’s end and is also poised to approve a foreign food aid program tied to crop improvements.
