He noted agencies cannot destroy official records without written approval from national archivist James B.

Meany Rejects Ford Economic Plan as Disappointing
AFL CIO President George Meany blasted President Ford's economy and energy proposal as disappointing. He urged Congress within 60 days to pass tax cuts for low income groups, gasoline rationing, expanded unemployment protection, more public jobs, and new housing. He warned Ford's plan risks inflation and profits for oil firms, calling it the worst since the 1930s. He criticized rebates as too small for a family of four. He urged an energy program resisting Arab oil price pressures.
