Question: When did the country that recognized Gaddafi's government at an early date along with the country where a president was previously Eisenhower's Vice President start selling petrol in litres?

in the 1960 election to choose his successor, eisenhower endorsed his own vice president, republican richard nixon against democrat john f. kennedy. he told friends, "i will do almost anything to avoid turning my chair and country over to kennedy." he actively campaigned for nixon in the final days, although he may have done nixon some harm. when asked by reporters at the end of a televised press conference to list one of nixon's policy ideas he had adopted, eisenhower joked, "if you give me a week, i might think of one. i don't remember." kennedy's campaign used the quote in one of its campaign commercials. nixon narrowly lost to kennedy. eisenhower, who was the oldest president in history at that time (then 70), was succeeded by the youngest elected president, as kennedy was 43. <SEP> After the 1969 coup, representatives of the Four Powers – France, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union – were called to meet RCC representatives. Hoping to ingratiate themselves with Gaddafi, in 1970 the U.S. informed him of at least one planned counter-coup. The U.K. and U.S. quickly extended diplomatic recognition, hoping to secure the position of their military bases in Libya and fearing further instability. Such attempts to form a working relationship with the RCC failed; Gaddafi was determined to reassert national sovereignty and expunge what he described as foreign colonial and imperialist influences. His administration insisted that the U.S. and U.K. remove their military bases from Libya, with Gaddafi proclaiming that "the armed forces which rose to express the people's revolution [will not] tolerate living in their shacks while the bases of imperialism exist in Libyan territory." The British left in March and the Americans in June 1970. <SEP> He otherwise left most political activity to his Vice President, Richard Nixon. On the domestic front, he covertly opposed Joseph McCarthy and contributed to the end of McCarthyism by openly invoking the modern expanded version of executive privilege. He was a moderate conservative who continued New Deal agencies and expanded Social Security. He also launched the Interstate Highway System, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the establishment of strong science education via the National Defense Education Act, and encouraged peaceful use of nuclear power via amendments to the Atomic Energy Act. <SEP> strict separation of powers did not operate in the united kingdom, the political structure of which served in most instances[citation needed] as a model for the government created by the u.s. constitution. [citation needed] under the uk westminster system, based on parliamentary sovereignty and responsible government, parliament (consisting of the sovereign (king-in-parliament), house of lords and house of commons) was the supreme lawmaking authority. the executive branch acted in the name of the king ("his majesty's government"), as did the judiciary. the king's ministers were in most cases members of one of the two houses of parliament, and the government needed to sustain the support of a majority in the house of commons. one minister, the lord chancellor, was at the same time the sole judge in the court of chancery and the presiding officer in the house of lords. therefore, it may be seen that the three branches of british government often violated the strict principle of separation of powers, even though there were many occasions when the different branches of the government disagreed with each other. some u.s. states did not observe a strict separation of powers in the 18th century. in new jersey, the governor also functioned as a member of the state's highest court and as the presiding officer of one house of the new jersey legislature. the president of delaware was a member of the court of appeals; the presiding officers of the two houses of the state legislature also served in the executive department as vice presidents. in both delaware and pennsylvania, members of the executive council served at the same time as judges. on the other hand, many southern states explicitly required separation of powers. maryland, virginia, north carolina and georgia all kept the branches of government "separate and distinct." <SEP> Yugoslavia had a liberal travel policy permitting foreigners to freely travel through the country and its citizens to travel worldwide, whereas it was limited by most Communist countries. A number[quantify] of Yugoslav citizens worked throughout Western Europe. Tito met many world leaders during his rule, such as Soviet rulers Joseph Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev; Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, Indian politicians Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi; British Prime Ministers Winston Churchill, James Callaghan and Margaret Thatcher; U.S. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter; other political leaders, dignitaries and heads of state that Tito met at least once in his lifetime included Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat, Willy Brandt, Helmut Schmidt, Georges Pompidou, Queen Elizabeth II, Hua Guofeng, Kim Il Sung, Sukarno, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Suharto, Idi Amin, Haile Selassie, Kenneth Kaunda, Gaddafi, Erich Honecker, Nicolae Ceaușescu, János Kádár and Urho Kekkonen. He also met numerous celebrities. <SEP> 1970 Electric Cable Makers Confederation, British Aerospace Companies Limited drawing and documentation, London Metal Exchange, flat glass 1971 Paper and board, National Coal Board designs, pharmaceuticals 1972 Paint industry, steel industry, building regulations 1974 Textile and wool transactions, leading clothing manufacturers adopt dual units 1975 Retail trade in fabrics and floor coverings, post office tariffs, medical practice 1976 Bulk sales of petroleum, agriculture and horticulture 1977 Livestock auctions 1978 Solid fuel retailing, cheese wholesaling, bread, London Commodity Market
