...Washington Bureau Chief Hugh Sidey reported that former President Nixon had offered to return his pardon to Ford. Nessen, on Ford's orders, downplayed the gesture. The press corps questioned the handling of the event. Nessen also showed inexperience on Ford's trip to see Mexican President Echeverria. He allocated most seats on the press helicopter for TV personnel and a handful for newspaper correspondents...
...think that the country could be exporting 200,000 bbl. a day, enough to put it in the same league with member producers of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

During that trip he may meet with Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev, depending on Kissinger's success in an upcoming meeting with Soviet officials in Moscow. In December, Ford will hold talks with West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt in Washington and later that month with French President...
...Echeverria, who still has two years remaining of his six-year term, thus far has had little luck in reforming the system. His liberal, populist speeches have alarmed the rich and the conservative politicians and businessmen whose support he needs to make real reforms. Yet he has been unsuccessful in winning over the left, which considers his rhetoric hypocritical, since he has done little to bring about the social reforms that he so eloquently calls for. No one expects much change before his term expires, if then. Those who consider themselves potential kidnap victims-the rich and the powerful...
