In a year end interview President Ford warned of a high likelihood of conflict in the Middle East without step by step disengagement talks between Israelis and Arabs.

He named James Lynn as budget director, Edward Levi as attorney general candidate, and said Nixon's pardon was timely. He pledged veto power when needed and emphasized integrity over party.
