Ford fires Schlesinger sparks Soviet propaganda worries
AFL-CIO President George Meany said on ABC that Ford’s firing of Defense Secretary Schlesinger is a “great big plus for the Soviet Union.” He argued the move boosted Soviet propaganda and questioned whether Donald Rumsfeld would be as strong. Meany criticized Kissinger’s policies as appeasement, doubted Ford’s 1976 candidacy, and warned unemployment remains high amid a sluggish economy. He also doubted an end to the recession and offered cautious views on NYC labor relations with the federal government.
