Democrats Predict Override of Ford Jobs Veto
Democrats expect Congress to override President Ford's veto of a $3.95 billion public works bill aimed at creating or preserving about 400000 jobs. Senate GOP Whip Robert Griffin cited Michigan unemployment to back the bill, while Ford warned it would fuel inflation. Humphrey called the veto shameless and bad policy. The measure would fund state and local public works, essential services, and wastewater plant construction through 1977.
