Ford and Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott were asked by Nixon personally to gather ballots from all the Republicans in Congress; and ballots were exactly what he wanted: a list of each Republican's top three choices for the new No. 2, in order of preference.

In a highly unusual action, Judge Walter E.
