NEWS SUMMARY
October 12, 1973
(Thurs. nets, wires, papers)
The Agnew resignation and Mideast again dominated all nets
w/11-14 minutes of former and 6-9 minutes on the war. The
highlights of these stories:
-
RN prepares for 1st use ever of 25th Amendment. Led
ABC w/film seen on all nets of a smiling RN seeing off
Ivory Coast Pres and, on ABC/CBS film, at export conf.
where again RN was seen broadly smiling and he received

19-15.
Ford, Rocky and Reagan are major choices in
House, said ABC which also had a poll, this one of GOP
State Chairman. 9 for Reagan; 6 for JBC; 5 for Rocky; 3
for Goldwater.
NBC reported a Quayle poll which Chancellor
sees as giving RN flexibility -- 93% oppose any limitation on
