Veto fight over coal mining bill fails in House
The House refused to override President Ford's veto of a coal strip mining bill for a third time this year. The measure would impose federal standards on surface mining, ban strip mining in some areas, and shift others to state enforcement, drawing claims of higher energy costs and job losses. Representative Morris Udall led environmentalists in the push, while Patsy Mink argued it would not curb production. Speaker Carl Albert supported the bill, but insufficient votes left the attempt short of the two thirds needed.
