-Caveat Lector-
I've never been able to figure out what exactly Rockefeller's role was.
AFAIK, Ford never consulted him on anything; the only significant
contribution he made was to chair the commission that catalogued the
assorted emergency declarations going back to Lincoln. My sense is that
while Nelson Rockefeller was indeed an Oligarch, his power was waning by
that time; within the family, authority was passing to David and Jay, and
the vice presidency was almost one last sinecure for the patriarch, so close
to the office he had sought for so long and which had always eluded him.
Besides, by that time, power within the Oligarchy (or perhaps that should be
"Oilgarchy") was shifting to George Bush the First, who even then epitomized
the permanent government... (See Trevanian's *Shibumi* for some trenchant
comments on the role of Big Oil in "public affairs.")
