Ford list grows as Connally Percy and Weicker acknowledge
Former Texas Gov John Connally Senator Charles Percy of Illinois and Senator Lowell P. Weicker of Connecticut confirmed they are among those President Ford has contacted about the vice presidency. Weicker said he would supply requested personal data while noting past disinterest in the post. Percy received a questionnaire after a call indicating he was under consideration. Connally, in Washington for Meet the Press, joked about being asked to lead the campaign and did not rule out future roles. Ford aims to collect all suggestions by midweek from more than a dozen possibilities including Richardson Bond Ray and Baker. Reagan allies press for a clear choice before the convention.
