...classifying mistakes, admitting blacks they thought were white and vice versa. Jewett also agreed it would be possible for a candidate to pose as a minority student by dropping a few hints on his application, but an interview would greatly reduce his chances for success at this ploy...

Ford apparently does not care for Lon Nol or for the Cambodian people as much as he has been claiming lately. Instead, he seems to be using an old presidential ploy: force Congress into an untenable position, and then tell the voters you told them so. Tell them you did all you could, but that Congress just wouldn't go along...
