Ford denies misuse of election funds during confirmation
Vice President-designate Gerald R. Ford told the Senate Rules Committee that $41,500 in campaign funds he did not report were properly recorded by donors and later reported by the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. He noted the money, contributed in 1970, was routed to his Michigan district and asserted no personal misreporting. He offered to be a mediator between the executive and legislative branches and said he might have fared well if the entire country voted for him.
