Ford seeks delegate input on VP pick amid Reagan clash
United Press International reports President Ford will consult all 2,259 Republican convention delegates before naming a running mate if he secures the nomination in Kansas City. He aims for a middle ground on social issues, fiscal conservatism, and strong defense, to counter Reagan Schweiker ties and win conservative support. The Mississippi delegation, previously pro-Reagan, will meet Reagan next week. Ford claims enough delegates to clinch on the first ballot but seeks broad backing.

Schweiker signals national role if VP pick stated
Senator Richard Schweiker says as Reagan's vice president he would represent the nation not just Pennsylvania and may reverse some pro-labor positions if they clash with the party platform. He would back right to work and oppose picketing limits if the platform calls for it. He also notes increased delegate prospects for Reagan in Pennsylvania beyond six Ford delegates.
