U.S.A.: VICE-PRESIDENT GERALD FORD PRAISES PRESIDENT NIXON'S DELIVERY OF TRANSCRIPTS OF WHITE HOUSE CONVERSATIONS TO THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
- Title: U.S.A.: VICE-PRESIDENT GERALD FORD PRAISES PRESIDENT NIXON'S DELIVERY OF TRANSCRIPTS OF WHITE HOUSE CONVERSATIONS TO THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
- Date: 1st May 1974
- Summary: 1. GV & CU White House officials carrying transcripts (4 shots) 0.27 2. 2.05 FORD: 'I would hope that now that the President has made some one thousand or more pages of transcript available and that he has agreed to permit the Chairman and the ranking Republican of that Committee to listen to the tapes and to compare the tapes with the transcripts and to further permit himself to answer interrogatories and to answer questions from the Chairman and the ranking Republican, I think that's a full disclosure. QUESTION: "Don't you think though the President my be defining the limitations himself of the Judiciary Committee's investigation, because it was the White House that edited those transcripts?" FORD: "Well, as I said a moment ago, the President has made the tapes available to Chairman Rodino and to Congressman Hutchinson. They can sit and listen to the tapes with a copy of the transcript right before them. They can read the transcript as they listen to the tapes. I can't imagine a more accurate way of verifying the validity of the tapes. And I come to the conclusion after reading a number of summaries and after talking to people who have had the full opportunity to listen to the tapes and read the transcripts that the President is, in my opinion, completely innocent, and any fair appraisal of the documentation will show that he should be exhonerated."
