Army brass ignored results, awarded Chrysler 200 units, and six years of failures followed. The project cost around $30 million with repeated breakdowns and ignored recommendations. Also notes tax-cut moves by Al Ullman and rising food stamp participation as recession deepens. President Ford's image among former allies shifts amid perceived aloofness.
