He admitted that if the election were held today, the Republican Party would lose between 10 and 20 House seats, which is about average for a president's party in an off-election year.
Ford then countered by saying GOP candidates would be the beneficiaries if the key indicators that show economic growth continued their recent trend.
"The economy is at a turning point. I'm

Statistics Ford alluded to showed that interest rates had tumbled from 21 percent to 13.5
One portion of the economy that could be a needle in the sides of Republicans — soaring unemployment rates—is an inevitable evil in the assault on high inflation rates, Ford said.
"By Nov. 2 the economy could be an asset to Republicans," Ford said.
"A slowdown is required to reduce inflation, Inflation, which is the most insidious of all economic problems, is solved by a slowdown," Ford said.

"I'm concerned about the possible negative effects on teaching excellence and high quality research projects," Berger said. "No consultations sought when the contract was revised."
Berger said Chancellor Gene A. Budig and other administrators assured GradEx members July 29 that budgetary plans were to be made only in light of a $1.71 million budget cut mandated by the Kansas Board of Regents earlier this summer. But Berger said the 88-word motion to the contract allowed the nomination of 7A positions on a more permanent basis.
Terminates Tom Berger, executive coordinator of GradEx, questioned the validity of the additional clause.
"People have called me at the office and at home, saying they didn't realize the significance of what I said."
In an Aug. 20 letter to Budig, Berger wrote:
"The revised contract fails to recognize the right of graduate students to expect financial
assurance. We also feel that these provisions do not show support of graduate students or recognize their contribution to the University.
But Tacha said the contract revision was necessary in protecting graduate students from potential problems.
"The Administration's failure to consult with GSC leadership in this matter represents a reversal of the improved relationships between graduate students and the Administration."
"It says that department heads give students 30 days notice before the beginning of the semester," Tacha said. "We felt the provision was needed for a long time."
Tacha said the provision was not unlike those of other University employees. The revision, she said, also assured graduate students of at least a 30-day notification period.
"There was no provision before." Tacha said. We felt there was a need to give them adequate food.
The contract revision was also discussed at Friday's meeting of the University Senate Executive Committee and James Seaver,主席。Commissioner Seaver would continue to monitor the contract debate.
"We're very concerned about it," Saver said, "but we're going to go about it rather slowly. We
never had a shot at looking at the revision, and that is very strange."
Seaver said SenEx members would seek legal advice on the matter
"This may be just the start of it," Saver said. "Who knows, maybe they'll be giving the faculty an excuse."
Af Friday's meeting, Gerald Mikkelsen, associate professor of Slavic languages, told other SenEx members, "The implication is that SenEx is consulted on all but the most important
Ellen Gold, associate professor of speech and drama and another SenEx member, said, "There is a need to put a really strong emphasis on this lack of consultation."
Berger said more than 1,000 filers had been sent out to graduate teaching assistants, informing them of a special Graduate Student Council meeting to discuss the contract revision. The meeting, he would, said at 5 p.m. today in the Big 8 room of the Kansas Union.
"We just want to get a feel on what the other graduate students think of the issue." Berger
Seaver said the revision would also be discussed at the regularly-scheduled SenXm会议。
