Rockefeller resigns
governorship of N.Y.

ALBANY, N.Y. (Reuter)-Nel-
son Rockefeller announced yes-
terday he is resigning as gover-
nor of New York, a step most ob-
servers saw as the opening move
of his final critical goal - win-
ning the presidency in 1976.
Rockefellers resignation after
15 years as Republican governor
of New York had been widely ru-
mored for several weeks and he
finally confirmed the speculation
when he told a crowded press
gathering he was turning the gov-
ernorship over to Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Malcolm Wilson yesterday.
Rockefeller has already made
three unsuccessful attempts to
win the Republican presidential
nomination - in 1960, 1964 and
1968. And although his resigna-
tion in advance of next year's
New York state elections was
widely interpreted as the begin-
ning of a campaign for the presi-
dential ticket for the 1976 elec-
tions, Rockefeller said yesterday
he does not now consider himself
a possible candidate.
Rockefeller said he nad decid-
ed to resign because he "could
render a greater public service
to the people of New YoriK and
the nation by devoting full time
to the work of two bipartisan
commissions."
He added: "My one regret is
that the undertaking of these
tasks has been interpreted as a
political maneuver to seek the
presidency. I am not a candidate
for the nomination for the presi-
dency or for any other political
office. Whether I become a can-
didate in the future I do not
know. I would like to keep my
options open."~
By ruling himself out as a ca -
didate at the present time, Rock-
efeller does not have to adhere
to the strict new federal stand-
ards on campaign spending. He
said he would ultimately decide
on his presidential plans late '
in 1975.
The two bodies Rockefeller said
he wanted to devote his time to
are the National Commission on
Critical Choices for America and
the National Commission on Wa-
ter Quality.
The Commission on Critical
Choices is a much-heralded group!
composed of 40 leading Amer-
icans which is to analyse the im-
pact of present world trends and
the nation's future security and
well-being.
Observers have said the group
could aid Rockefeller if he de-
cides to actively seek the Presi-
dential nomination by giving him
continued national exposure.
Although Rockefeller has den-
ied he is using the organza-
tion as a springboard for the
nomination, its setup is rather
unique. Up to 20 million dollars
-some from Rockefeller and
some from his millionaire broth-
ers - will be used for tanedcom-
mission. It will operate under
the Rockefeller-established Third
Century Corporation and the
Rockefellers hope to get addi-
tional government funds.
Asked by reporters after he an-
nounced his resignation whether
this was the first step in a pre-
sidential compaign, Rockefeller
replied, "That's inaccurate from
my point of view."
In the first try in 1960, Rocke-
feller had a famous confrontation
with Richard Nixon at Rocke-a
feller's Fifth Avenue apartment
in New York city. When offered
the vice-presidential spot by Nix-

on, the governor reportedly said:
"I'm not a standby candidate."
In 1964, he opposed Barry Gold-
water but was roundly booed at
the party's national convention
in San Francisco. His chances
that year were generally consid-
ered to be badly damaged by a
divorce and subsequent remar-
riage to a woman who also had
been divorced.
