President Ford offered to appear before a House Judiciary subcommittee to answer 14 questions about the Nixon pardon. He seeks to testify within 10 days, addressing whether negotiations began before Nixon resigned and if any promises or medical reports influenced the pardon. The move comes as a related bill would reduce Ford’s Nixon expense money from 850000 to 398000.
