POOL REPORT
PALMER HOUSE TO MCCORMICK PLACE TC TRAVERSE CITY :
On State Street outside the hotel, there were at least 2, 000 people on
both sides of the street waiting for Ford.
The President and Mrs. Ford came out the hotel entrance to applause
and shouts of "come over here. " Ford worked the crowd for a few
minutes but didn't cover the whole street.
The motorcade moved about three miles to McCormick Place. There
were a few Cyprus signs outside the hall but couldn't make out what the
point was.
When the President entered, Dr. Benjamin Alexander, the President
of Chicago State, introduced him to 22 honor graduates, campus leaders
etc. Mrs. Ford, dressed in a black dress with white polka dots, was
introduced to the graduates by Mrs. Alexander.
Ford then moved down a corridor where all the graduates were waiting
for the processional. There were handshakes and congratulations.
After the pool left the area (30 minutes later) Greener said the President
made an unscheduled 10-minute trip back into the corridor to shake more
hands and chat with the students. For the remainder of the time, he was
in a room with faculty members.

Nessen came back and said early next week President would be sending
to Congress his plan on decontrol of old oil and there would be more
to it than a monthly timetable of phased out controls. There will be
meetings Monday at the White House to discuss the proposal. There will be
other elements besides the monthly timetable.
