...liberal Democrat, and I have given Jimmy Carter my time and support for the past four months. He is not my ideological dream, but no one, to my mind, has given him much competition as a candidate.

In the Senate, Wisconsin Democrat William Proxmire has introduced a bill that would make it a crime, under U.S. law, for American companies to engage in such activities in foreign countries whose own laws forbid political payoff and bribery. Last week the Ford Administration presented the outlines of the antibribery bill that it intends to present to Congress soon...
