Ford confirms Schlesinger firing amid tension with Kissinger
President Ford says he removed James Schlesinger as defense secretary due to growing tension with Henry Kissinger and to enable his own national security team to work more effectively. He noted no details of the rivalry but insisted the move would improve the administration. Ford also acknowledged campaign problems and pledged to enter all 30 GOP primaries, challenging Reagan to do the same. He predicted better atmosphere with Donald Rumsfeld as Pentagon chief and George Bush as CIA director if approved. Brezhnev visit and SALT timing were downplayed as uncertain. Ford spoke on Meet the Press, defending his actions as aimed at better governance.
