...began in the final hours of the Nixon Administration. GM Executive Vice President Oscar Lundin and Vice President Henry Welch flew to Washington on Aug. 8-the day of Nixon's resignation speech-for a meeting with Herbert Stein, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, and Kenneth Rush, Economic Counsellor to the President. Following a decade-old GM practice, they came to give advance notice of the scheduled increase and explain why, in GM's view, it was justified...

But they confined themselves to general talk about the need for price restraint; "I neither approved nor disapproved" of GM's specific plans, says Rush.

Testifying to the Congressional Joint Economic Committee, Kenneth Rush, the President's economic spokesman, predicted that during the year's second half the rate of expansion in real gross national product will probably fall below the 2% to 4% figure that had previously been forecast by the Administration. That would mean a drop in G.N.P. for the entire year. Economic...
