Likewise, House Speaker Carl next in line to Albert, the presidency until a vice presidential nominee is confirmed, reacted warmly. "The President has just nominated one of the most experienced and capable men in the country," Albert said. "The President made a choice which few will criticize." Ford said he had considered a number of candidates "all men of great and women quality." He called the final decision "a tough call for a tough job." Ford kept his nominee secret until the last minute. Before his televised announcement, he told a bipartisan group of congressional leaders and later the Cabinet of his choice. But he asked that they remain in rooms far from the White House news corps so that the nominee's name would not leak out ahead of time. "If I am confirmed it will be my great honor to serve you and through you all the people of this great country," Rockefeller said and to the congressional Choices, widely viewed in Washington as a vehicle for promoting yet another attempt to win the party's presidential nomination. Rockefeller and GOP chairman George Bush had been considered the favorites for the nomination. After his brief speech, Rockefeller made the rounds of those present in the Oval Office, shaking hands and speaking personally with each person. The atmosphere was light and laughter filled the room. Rockefeller stopped to speak with first lady Betty Ford before going to meet the Cabinet. w fr" yS : - , ftLiJr t1 jpy ri, Resignations Offered in South Korea ,(UPI) and other S age The Utah County Government Study Commission will hold its first official meeting Thursday, Aug. 29 at 7:30 p.m. in room 311 of the Utah County Building, according to Dr. Martin B.

A liberal Republican, Sen. Charles H. Percy of Illinois, who also harbored presidential ambitions, said a team in 1976 would be an "absolutely winning ticket."

When he sought the GOP presidential nomination in 1964, he was booed by the national convention, by delegates who nominated Barry M. Goldwater, then and now a staunch conservative." Rockefeller was seen then as the embodiment of the Eastern, internationalist wing of the party. Sen. Robert P. Griffin of Michigan, the politically astute Republican Senate whip, said he was surprised at how many conservative Republicans had put Rockefeller on the list of candidates they had submitted to Ford. He said Rockefeller was not their first choice, but was frequently their second or third choice. "I believe he is widely accepted and highly regarded," Griffin said. The initial reaction from Democrats was favorable, too. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield predicted Rockefeller would have no trouble being confirmed.
