Ford wants election law change
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Gerau R. Ford proposed to congressional leaders last night that members of the Federal Election Commission be appointed by the president with the Senate giving final approval.
The President also suggested the possibility of terminating the new election law or the commission, or both, in 1977 after this year's presidential election.
