Ford to answer pardon queries
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Gerald R. Ford told a house subcommittee he will personally testify on why he gave former President Richard M. Nixon a pardon.
The President told Chairman William L. Hungate, D-Mo., of the House Judiciary Subcommittee in a brief letter yesterday that he would personally respond to the 14 questions raised by two resolutions before the subcommittee.
Ford said he would like to arrange the personal testimony within the next 10 days.
Hungate said it would be the first personal U.S. mission to Congo since that of Abraham Lincoln.
The chairman said White House research showed that only Presidents Lincoln and George Washington testified before Congress while they were in office and that Theodore Roosevelt testified before Congress after he left the White House.
The questions Ford agreed to answer are on details of whether former White House Chief of Staff Alexander M. Haig Jr. suggested the pardon for Nixon, what
agreements were made in connection with the pardon and whether Ford's granting of it was based on any knowledge of Nixon's mental or physical health.
Before the subcommittee are the so-called resolutions of inquiry introduced by Reps. Bella S. Abzug, D-N.Y., and John Conyers Jr., D-Mich, which, if approved by the House, would demand the answers within 10 days.
In a letter, delivered to Hungate's office, the President said:
A White House spokesman said that Ford decided on the unusual course of action later this month.
Asked why Ford had decided to appear personally, the spokesman said Hungate was for information from him and the Porsche company in direct approach was the best approach."
The spokesman said Ford "is prepared to respond to each question and point of information in the resolutions" but said he didn't know if the President would accept other questions or submit to cross-examination.
President and what promises or conditions were set for Nixon's pardon.
Replying to inquiries, however, the Ford aide emphasized that the subcommittee bearing would be for a limited purpose, and that they would not interfere within the scope of Ford's knowledge.
The medical report said microscopic involvement of cancer was found in two of 30 lymph nodes removed Saturday from beneath the right arm.
But the doctors said they remained optimistic for a prolonged survival. The First Lady and President Ford were said to be pleased at the outlook.
"This is to advise you that I expect to appear personally to respond to the questions raised in House resolutions 1367 and 1370.
Statistics show that such a finding usually indicates decreased chances for a long-term

"It's, I think, good, but there also are some questions raised," the President told me.
As for Mrs. Ford, he said, "With her strong, fine attitude, I think everything will succeed."
"she gave me hard time about a couple of things, so she must be better," he said.
Cancer studies
WASHINGTON (AP)—New research results that show promise of increased survival and less surgical disfiguration for breast cancer victims were reported yesterday by some of the nation's leading breast cancer scientists.
They met at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Belreda, Md.
The scientists were told that a two-year study of breast cancer victims had found tentative similar results for the radical form of surgery and the simpler form.

"It would be my desire to arrange this hearing before your subcommittee at a mutually convenient time within the next 10 days."
The standard radical mastectomy, like that performed on First Lady Betty Ford, involves removal of the cancerous breast, the underlying chest muscles and part of the lymph system under the armpit. The end procedure is removal of the breast only.
Other studies reported yesterday found that anticancer drug used after surgery was effective.
"It should be emphasized that these findings are tentative and do not, by themselves," represent "major results." The authors of results said. "More time and more study will be needed to document long term results and to improve our techniques."
The doctors issued their report after receiving the final pathological findings on a patient with severe bronchitis.
Because cancer was found outside the breast, the doctors said, they will decide now whether Mrs. Ford should undergo X-ray or chemical treatments.
Abzug was for details on when and who
mattered the pension in FORD, whether it
waited or passed away.
He said that the President expects to appear at an open hearing.
William Roberts, a White House spokesman at the Bethesda, Md. Naval Medical Center, said Mrs. Ford was well in her recovery from surgery.
"Her discomfort is steadily decreasing and she has required less pain medication," he said.

WASHINGTON (AP)—A Watergate grand jury has questioned three current and former aids to Rep. Wilbur D. Mills about milk fund money used in the Arkansas Democrat's brief 1972 residential campaign.
Associated Milk Producers Inc., the big dairy cooperative that recently pleaded guilty to donating $5,000 illegally to Mills.
Mills'a aides questioned
Goss said the questions concerned the $5,000 cash gift, which allegedly passed through his hands, and the use of corporate money by the coop to pay salaries and expenses of Mills' campaign workers. Use of the election campaigns is prohibited by law.
Concerning the $5,000 cash gift, Goss said he had no reason to believe recollection" of having handed the money.
