Ford to seek 1976 term amid economy concerns
President Ford plans to run for a full four year term in 1976, regardless of the economy, his spokesman said. White House press secretary Ron Nessen stressed the decision is not tied to economic conditions and expects inflation to ease and unemployment to fall by 1976. Ford met with about 100 congressmen to rally support for a $3 per barrel oil import fee and to push his anti recession package as he travels to win backing for his program. Bhutto visit and Kissinger pitch featured in Atlanta discussions.
