1976-08-31

1970-1980

Newspaper article regarding the uncertain status of the 1976 presidential debates. While Jimmy Carter asserted that plans for the televised confrontations were nearly set, but a spokesman for President Ford stated that no agreement was in sight. The proposed debates were to be a series of three debates, each lasting an hour and 15 minutes, beginning the third week in September. Despite the lack of an agreement, both campaigns prepared for the debates. Carter said that he preferred a format that allowed questioning on a wide variety of subjects, while Ford wanted questions limited in each debate to a specific issue. 2 pages.
