In the interview, taped last Friday at the Nixon home in Saddle River, N.J., Mr. Nixon said Mr. Reagan would be a strong candidate because he would be able to point to tax cuts, reductions in government spending, and a decrease in unemployment, all of which he had pledged to accomplish during the 1980 campaign.
