Inscriptions Printed in image on recto, LC: (WX11) WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 -- VIP (VERY IMPORTANT POOCH) -- Occupying the chair of an assistant \ secretary of state can be an everyday happening with Jacques, the 7-year-old poodle of Dr. \ Dixy Lee Ray, shown at the desk of his mistress. When President Ford asked the former atomic \ energy commissioner to take the post she told him, "I come with two dogs." Jacques, along \ with Dr. Ray's 115-pound Scottish deer hound, Ghillie, accompany her to the office in the \ State Department each day she works there. (AP Wirephoto) (sf41420mbr-star) 1975 MO MO
