Ford Rebuffs Johnson Call for Calm on Confidence Charge
House Republican Leader Gerald R. Ford said he would not be baited into a verbal clash with President Johnson over an alleged breach of confidence. Johnson charged a prominent Republican with breaking confidence and distorting a memo about Viet Nam deliberations.
