WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi dent Ford signaled a get-tough at titude to hold down oil imports and said Tuesday he “will be open to suggestions” for revising hi$ anti inflation program if the economy continues to falter. In a wide-ranging news confer ence, Ford also reported progress in nuclear arms limitation talks with the Soviet Union, reaffirmed his support for vice presidential nominee Nelson A. Rockefeller and announced a shakeup in the federal energy hierarchy. Ford convened the surprise White House news conference about an hour after the government announced that leading economic indicators had taken the sharpest one-month plunge in 23 years. The first questioner cited that gloomy economic news and asked Ford whether he was ready to amend the anti-inflation program he announced earlier this month. Ford responded that he believes his proposals are a sound, finely tuned. . .constructive program” but said Congress must act on por tions of it. “In the interim, if there are any economic factors which justify a change I will be open to sugges tions,” he added. The President would not apply the label “recession” to what he acknowledged were “some difficult economic circumstances. “Whether it is a recession or not a recession is immaterial, he said. “We have problems. . we want solutions. . .” When Ford was asked about pos sible limits on Arab oil imports, he responded that he believes his vol untary energy conservation re commendations can achieve the i goal of cutting imports by barrels per day. But he addj “Ifthere isn’t the saving 0 fi« ion barrels per day ofoilj j | voluntary action, we will, oil move to any other alternative chiding the possibility ofmanjjL limitations, to achieve thatrejj luniiliat U . , luesday Regarding the domestic e„ lustin. program, ford announced“Itwa removing John C.
