White House asks FEC to rule on Morton et al
The White House asked the Federal Election Commission to decide if President Ford's new political adviser Rogers C. Morton and other aides to federally elected officials should be paid partly with political campaign funds. Ford's chief lawyer Philip Bucen asked for an advisory opinion, saying the president would follow the decision, after Morton was named a presidential counselor with a $44 600 salary paid from tax money. Bucen said the FEC should apply the rule to thousands of federally elected officials including congressmen.
