Ford names Bush and Smith as diplomats amid Nixon links
President Ford announces major diplomatic appointments in Washington. George Bush will head the U.S. mission to Beijing, Mrs. Mary Louise Smith becomes first woman GOP chair in party history, and Kenneth Rush is named ambassador to France. Cooper is named ambassador to West Germany. The moves aim to project capable U S leadership while avoiding overexposure of Nixon affiliates. Officials stress these are standard postings, not a shift in foreign policy.
