before achieving his party's nomination predicted
that Congress was not likely to act "intelligently"
or "responsibly" on legislation after the conveiQ

a secret w e Q- o n which
Rockefeller himself most
prcbly did not know about.
Over seventy memb; of the
NewGk'ork Republican dele
gation id in fact privately
Sludged themselves to Nixon,
to abandon the Governor and
to join the Nixon camp no
later than MsnyJay, July 25.
Tl(e) temptation to risk a
floor fight, and to ptnyish
Rockefeller with a punning
public humiliation, Qjl.ust

strong.TSnt besides thf)cer -
