Reagan Pledges To Back Ford If Bid For Presidency Fails
Reagan told ABC he would support Ford if Ford defeats him for the Republican nomination in 1976. He refused to pledge for Rockefeller or other GOP hopefuls. He noted a remote chance of a third party run if an extremist candidate rose, but ruled out a third party bid himself. He defended a tax cut plan, with local tax hikes to cover remaining programs, and kept to unifying the party. He noted differences with Ford over the Panama Canal negotiations and other policy points. He commented on New York City loan plans, and China relations, stressing cautious approach.

Democratic mayors adopted an urban policy statement in their bid to insert a city issue plank into the 1976 platform. They accuse Ford and Nixon of waging an undeclared war on cities, favor enforcement of desegregation orders, and will hold hearings to gauge candidate support while avoiding direct endorsement. The group aims to shape party policy without backing a specific candidate.
