Anderson, the third-ranking ' House Republican, said the ». extensive hearings that preceded Ford's confirmation , "demonstrated to the nation -; what we, his colleagues, hiwe ^ always known; that he is a man' j of candor, honesty and utmost^q decency." Anderson, noting that Thursday's vote was based upon "the most thorough s c r u t i n y p o s s i b l e o n t h e . i qualifications of the nominee, v. said that "no similar in- vestigation by the Congress has exceeded it in depth or in- •. cisiveness." Observing that "very much at issue in these deliberations • has been whether the Congress / finds Mr. Ford fit and qualified, not only to be confirmed as >. Vice-President, but also to succeed to the Presidency," Anderson said that Thursday's vote "eminently describes thatT finding." . v HERE AND THERE JMSINESS_ .
