March 5, 2006 In 1976, President Gerald R. Ford signed a directive
that granted Iran the opportunity to purchase U.S. built reprocessing
equipment and facilities designed to extract plutonium from nuclear
reactor fuel.
When Gerald Ford assumed the Presidency in August 1974, the current
Vice President of the United States, Richard B Cheney served on the
transition team and later as Deputy Assistant to the President. In
November 1975, he was named Assistant to the President and White
House Chief of Staff, a position he held throughout the remainder of
the Ford Administration.[1]
In August 1974, the current Secretary of Defense, Donald H. Rumsfeld
served as Chairman of the transition to the Presidency of Gerald R.
Ford. He then became Chief of Staff of the White House and a member
of the President's Cabinet (1974-1975)[2] and was the Ford
Administration's Secretary of Defense from 19751977.
The current President of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz served in the
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency under President Gerald Ford.[3]
Wolfowitz is considered as a prominent architect of the Bush
Doctrine, which has come to be identified with a policy that permits
pre-emptive war against potential aggressors before they are capable
of mounting attacks against the United States.
According to Washington Post Staff Writer Dafna Linzer, "Ford's team
endorsed Iranian plans to build a massive nuclear energy industry,
but also worked hard to complete a multibillion-dollar deal that
would have given Tehran control of large quantities of plutonium and
enriched uranium the two pathways to a nuclear bomb. Either can be
shaped into the core of a nuclear warhead, and obtaining one or the
other is generally considered the most significant obstacle to would-
be weopons builders."[4]
