Calloway to be Ford's Campaign Manager
President Ford announced Wednesday he has chosen Georgia
Republican Howard "Bo" Calloway, now Secretary of the Army,
to manage his 1976 Presidential campaign. NBC/CBS said west
coast industrialist, David Packard is expected to be named
finance chairman and former Michigan Rep. Charles Chamberlain
has been picked as the campaign treasurer.
Through Ron Nessen, Ford also disclosed he will file by
Friday documents with the Federal Election Commission formally
establishing his own campaign committee. Following tradition,
there is no mention of the vice presidential candidate, ABC
reported.
Nessen said the filing will list former GOP national
chairman Dean Burch as campaign committee chairman, but he
said Burch will hold the post for only two or three weeks
until Calloway severs his connections with the Army.
Calloway said later in a statement, "When I take on
the job in a few weeks I will be totally committed to
running an open, candid and straightforward campaign."
In response to questions about when he would become
manager, Calloway (on CBS film) said,
"
probably two
or two and a half weeks and as Secretary of the Army it is
very inappropriate for me to comment on anything political
about the campaign. "
Howard K. Smith (ABC) said Ford's announcement meant
he "almost has made" an announcement of his candidacy. "The
White House rushed the announcement in an apparent bid to
steal some of the thunder from George Wallace, who's in
Washington making political headlines," Tom Jarriel (ABC) said.
"The announcement and the legal filing make Gerald Ford
a candidate under the law, although his public commitment
before TV cameras won't be made for several weeks" Jarriel
said. "The political advantages of meetings (with high
school groups, etc.) are obvious. The problem will come
when his campaign committee has to pay the expenses after
someone, somehow, decides which of the President's events
are political and which are strictly presidential."
Presidency: News
N-2
Phil Jones (CBS) said this will not be Calloway's first
Presidential camapign assignment. In 1968 he was Nixon's
southern campaign manager. Calloway was also one of the key
men in Nixon's successful '68 convention battle against
Ronald Reagan, a battle that may have to be fought again in
'76 on behalf of President Ford, Jones said. ABC said Calloway
had been a southern strategist for Nixon.
Calloway, who NBC called a "tough Georgia conservative,"
will give Ford added strength in the South, where George
Wallace and Reagan are popular. ABC noted that Ford spent
most of his time with Calloway during his trip last weekend
to Georgia.
Ford has said he does not intend to make many of the
mistakes made by Nixon's people in 1972, SO his campaign
will be run outside of the White House, NBC said. That would
seem to give Calloway free rein with the campaign, but he
will have to report to Ford aid (Donald) Rumsfeld.
John Cochran (NBC) said Calloway's selection was a
surprise, although he and Ford have known each other for
years. "Unlike some others considered for the campaign
job, Calloway was available because he's independently
wealthy and he can afford to take it," Cochran said. "White
House aides say Mr. Ford also likes Calloway's style, that he's
an enthusiastic salesman with good political instincts. "--AP;

Harris Poll Shows Ford Leading as Presidential Contender
The Harris Poll Wednesday reported that President Ford
is now leading the race for President, not only against any
Democratic nominee, but also in a three-way race, including
Ronald Reagan or George Wallace.
According to the poll, only Sen. Edward Kennedy holds
his own against the President in a three-way matchup. Kennedy
leads Ford by 43 to 31 per cent with Reagan in the race, and
ties Ford 37 to 37 per cent with Wallace running. --- UPI; NBC
