Nixon Wins Third Veto Clash as GOP Backing Persists
In Washington, Nixon secured a 236 to 178 House vote to sustain his veto on a bill requiring Senate confirmation for top budget officers Roy Ash and Frederic Malek. Eighteen Republicans joined 218 Democrats in opposing the president, but the override failed, continuing Nixon’s string of veto victories amid Watergate turmoil. The Senate defeat of the override leaves the measure ineffective.
