Ford seeks GOP unification via White House summit
President Ford proposes a coordinating committee to unify the Republican party ahead of the 1980 election. He meets with Ronald Reagan John Connally and Nelson Rockefeller to form a broad tent and draft recommendations for a new national chairman while denying personal candidacy and stressing collective leadership. The group will shape a format for the coordinating committee and may influence chairman selection from several named contenders.
