Ford sets conditions on tax cuts WASHINGTON (UPI) President Ford will veto any tax cut bill that does nut also impose a limit on federal spending and believes his veto would be sustained, the White House said yest e rda v.. Press Secretary Ron Nessen also said Ford might call Congress into a special session or prevent it from adjourning later this month if necessary to try to force enactment of a spending _Ceiling alon with a permanent extension bf the personal tax cut that is scheduled to expir_ Jan. I. . Ford outlined his plans at a mid afternoon meeting with top economic advisers and Nessen said they assured the President'that if the tax cut were to expire for "a short period of time, it will not have any material effect on the economy." Nessen said Ford "truly believes" in his proposal for a $2B billion tax cut with an equal reduction in federal spending— to set a $395 billion ceiling orispeiuling during the fiscal year starting next Oct. 1 and that recent polls indicate a majority of Americans support Ford's position. Accordingly, he said Ford told House set for fight on Kissinger charge WASHINGTON (AP) Rejecting a compromise offer from President Ford, Intelligence Committee Chairman Otis G. Pike filed contempt action in the House yesterday against Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. The New York Democrat said he will ask for a House contempt vote a couple of days" unless his committee decides al a meeting today that he should not. Rep Les Aspin. D-Wis.. said later he plans to try to head off the showdown vote, although he conceded he has not decided how and does not know if the committee will go along. "I think we're close enough to work something out," Aspin said. "... If we the (full House vote, that's blown it. Then wecan't negotiate; Pike told all 435 House members in a "Dear Colleague" letter that contempt action against Kissinger would not "cause the earth to tremble nor the sun to stop in its tracks. Ni" one is seeking to place Mr. Kissinger in jail," Pike wrote fellow members, "and the worst that can happen to him is that he might have to provide the documents subpoenaed, to Congress." Ford's compromise offer was to identify to tbe liouseicommitteeall U.S. covert intelligence operations abroad since 1961 that were requested by the State Department; rather than by in telligence agpncies. Pide said Ihnt does not comply the committiee's subpoena for. aII , SIU Department 'requests for information on all covert operations whether carried out or not. Pike said the State Department Collegian the daily treasury Secretary William E. Simon at yesterday's meeting to emphasize in Senate testimony today that "the President will veto any extension of a tax reduction unless it has a ceiling on spending." : The House late last week approved a broad tax revision package that would extend last spring's tax reductions including a $l2 billion personal income tax cut but the legislation would not set a limit on spending. . Nessen noted that there has been talk in. ghe Senate of a temporary tax' cut extension, for perhaps three or four months, to allow time - ?,to resolve the r., spending issue without getting the tax reductions expire. But he said Ford would veto any tempora measures too, whatever their time frame. Asked if Ford thought his threatened veto could be upheld in Congress, Nessen recalled that the House-passed bill won approval by a vote of 213 to 203 and that the President was confident of enough support to win if he cast a veto to block the bill's enactment. "It can be easily sustained," Nessen said. Democratic leaders had hoped that originally told his committees it requested five covert operations during the 14 years but said the department has now found 25 requests for covert operations. ' Dropping two other contempt citations against Kissinger, Pike filed minutes after the House opened for business Monday the one for Kissinger's refusal to turn over the State Department covert operation requests. , 1 It charges KiSsinger with "con tumacious conduct," and if approyed by the House would direct - Speaker Carl Albert to turn the case oven to the local U.S. attorney for prosecution. Albert refused to either back Pike or oppose him but indicated he would not stand in the way of a HouSe contempt vote if Pike asks for one. Kissinger would say only that he will let the White House negotiate the matter. Pike dropped the other two contempt citations against Kissinger on grounds committee subpoenas have now been complied with and Kissinger is therefore no longer in contempt. They were for minutes of National Security Council approvals of reportedly more than 100 U.S. covert intelligence operations since 1965, and for U.S. intelligence estimates of Soviet com pliance with arms agreements. Ford's compromise offer, in effect, was to simply extend :the covert operations approval decisions back : to the 1961 date. in the State Department subpoena, and to identify the operations requitted by the State Department. White House Counsel Philip W. Bucben told the committee in a letter dated Saturday that the Presided had authorized him to make that offer.

His candidacy is no surprise, fox Heinz has strongly hinted for months that he would be available for a run at the job if Scott retired. On Oct. 28, Heinz complied with federal election law and filed the names of a campaign manager and treasurer with the Federal Election Commission.
