WEEKEND NEWS REVIEW
May 13, 1974
The major stories:
-- RN's Stillwater appearance led ABC Sat. w/reporter Bell
saying that for a Pres besieged by calls for resignation
from many past supporters as well as enemies, RN's
"campaign-style welcome" (on film) at Vance AFB "had
to be a welcome tonic. Film of RN on ABC and net feed
to local CBS saying "I can only say on this non-political
occasion this -- that having presented all evidence to Hill
that I trust House will act promptly so that we can reach
a decision so that the Pres. (and) Hill can get on w/people's
business as we should. 11 Both clips had heavy applause for
those remarks w/a few catcalls discernible. Pierpoint on
local CBS noted that despite the occasional heckling
it was generally a friendly crowd providing "a happy ending
to a hard week for Pres. "
-- NBC/CBS Sat. led (#2 ABC) w/Julie-David news conference,
thru-out which, NBC said, they suggested RN ought not be
criticized publicly for statements in private conver sations.
While Cochran on NBC said Julie "w/great emotion" said
RN didn't want her to face reporters, Pierpoint on CBS
noted it's been 2 months since RN held news conference
and press would prefer to question him: instead Julie
and David "had to answer the awkward questions "On
NBC/CBS Julie said if media has an obsession (or) hangup
about resignation, then I feel its my obligation as a daughter
to come out here and say, 'no he's not going to resign. 111
On all nets, Julie said RN Fri. said he'd go down to the wire
on this -- even if only one Senator supports him. On ABC
she added that RN believes in the Presidency and believes
this is the best way to handle situation. ABC's Sherwood
said Julie showed once again she's "1 of RN's most effective
public defenders" but an unanswered question still "hangs
heavy'' in DC: can this latest effort by his daughter help
stem the rising tide of anti-RN feeling?
