Washington recall focuses on Nelson Rockefeller and Gerald Ford as eight House Judiciary Committee members vote against Ford despite White House pressure and GOP leaders' advice. The anecdote underscores the intense political dynamics surrounding Ford's vice presidency confirmation and related hearings.
The piece argues Nelson Rockefeller lacks power without a Ford White House or strong party backing. It notes Nixon loyalists and labor staying out of Rockefeller’s confirmation, while Ford’s modest record underlines Rockefeller’s dwindling influence. It portrays the GOP as shambles, with Wilson’s defeat and Rockefeller’s weakness exposed by Senate hearings and national power shifts.
The piece critiques the 1974 election as lacking clear policy guidance amid a large Democratic House likely to alter Nixon-Ford policies. It questions Ford's leadership, notes reliance on Congress, and foresees inflation and unemployment shaping a demand for congressional remedies.
