Ford lets Kelley stay as FBI director after gifts ruling
The White House said President Ford would keep Clarence Kelley as FBI director despite gifts from aides and use of government property for home decorations. Attorney General Levi found Kelley acted with honest intent and should reimburse the bureau for $335 in decor costs. Investigators expanded probes into bureau practices, including possible illegal techniques in the Black Panther case.

Dole Admits Testifying Before Gulf Grand Jury
Republican vice presidential candidate Bob Dole acknowledged he testified before a Gulf Oil grand jury last February probing illegal Gulf contributions to candidates. He denied accepting funds from Gulf or Hugh Scott and said he was unsure if he was called as a witness or a subject of investigation. Carter met with Robert Redford to discuss environmental issues at Plains. Ford supporters said Carter sounds like Ford on budgeting, while Powell argued Carter’s stance remains unchanged on social program funding.

State Senator Cloyd Robinson seeks to craft amendatory safety language covering public sector high risk jobs without crippling police and fire departments.
