Congress moves to override Nixon veto on water bill
Congress rushed to adjourn as it approved higher Social Security benefits and taxes and moved to reject Nixon’s $24 billion clean water bill veto. The Senate voted 52 to 12 to override early today, while the House was expected to follow. A House-Senate conference faces a choice to craft spending limits or raise the national debt to $465 billion. The Social Security measure would lift payroll taxes and benefits, with the tax increase slated for Jan 1. If action stalls, the government could face bankruptcy after Oct 31.
