Congress Returns to Session Amid Spending Debates
Congress reconvenes after a 10 day Easter recess with Democrats proposing various spending programs to counter recession and clash with President Ford over the budget. The White House veto threat centers on keeping the deficit near 60 billion next fiscal year while Democrats urge emergency spending for housing, jobs, public works, health and education. A Coast Guard Auxiliary safe boating course begins April 7 at 7 30 p m in South Portland lasting 10 weeks with a small materials fee. Ford seeks 222 million for Southeast Asian aid while Cambodia’s government position crumbles.
