Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, DECF. V..1ER 19, 1975 WUCTi Congressman Allan T. Howe re- acted to President Fords announcement that new men will hold the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Commerce slots on his cabinet, the CIA will have a new director and Secretary of State Kissinger, while remaining on the cabinet, will be replaced as national security advisor, by saying that this large number of top-levchanges combined with Vice President Rockefellers announcement that he will not be a Vice Presidential candidate in 1976 gives an impression of instability in the Ford administration." Rep. Howe said, One of the great needs in our country in recent times, because of all the turmoil of Watergate and other upsetting circumstances, is a feeling of stability in the federal government. Unfortunately, the President's decisions to replace several top-levmen and change in several around responsibilities national security positions, coupled with the statement by the Vice President that he will not be available for the Presidents ticket, combine, coming all at once as they did, to give the impression that the government is still very unstable. The President certainly has the right to make changes in his cabinet and other top el el positions theres no question about that but I think it would have been better if these changes had been made in a more gradual fashion, so it would not have appeared that the whole national security aspect of our government was being reorganized at once. Certainly, our allies have a right to expect stability in our government, as do the people of this country, and I think the whole image and working of our government would be better if we didnt play this game of musical chairs quite so often. Congressman Allan T. Howe has announced the inclusion of an amendment to the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1975 which prevents the Secretary of Transportation from forcing states to adopt strict motorcycle helmet laws.
