FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DECEMBER 10, 1974
Office of the White House Press Secretary
(New York, New York)
THE WHITE HOUSE
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
I am gratified by the action of the Senate today in voting for confirmation of
Nelson A. Rockefeller to fill the vacancy in the office of Vice President of the
United States.
Few Americans have ever been more closely scrutinized or more thoroughly
investigated by the Congress than Governor Rockefeller. The Senate's
overwhelming vote of approval, after probing so meticulously into every aspect
of his public and private life, speaks eloquently for his character and outstanding
qualifications for public office.
The Senate vote brings us much closer to the day when the constitutional office of
Vice President will be filled. I trust that similar action will be taken as rapidly
as possible by the House of Representatives before final adjournment of the 93rd
Congress. Governor Rockefeller would then be able to put his experience and
energy to work for all the people of the United States in our efforts to deal with
the great challenges ahead.
