Fowler chairs an interdepartmental committee on the balance of payments. The White House said no President cars have TVs. Each secretary can lease his own limousine with preferred equipment. McNamara’s Lincoln Continental began the trend two years ago. Fowler’s car lease is 1500 a year and Gardner’s Cadillac costs about 1000 yearly with air conditioning and radios. Manufacturers reportedly grant concessions for government leases due to prestige.
