Nixon Vetoes Cambodia Funding Cut in Bombing War Debate
President Nixon vetoed a $3.4 billion supplemental bill that included an amendment to cut off funds for U S bombing in Cambodia and Laos. The Senate had approved the measure 81 to 11 before the veto, sending it back to the House where a veto override was unlikely. The House later passed a separate Cambodia bombing funding ban, sending it to the Senate as Republicans warned of a constitutional clash over funding and executive power.

The plan includes a 34 800 square foot building seating 1 000, a 200 by 85 feet rink, six acres of city land at 3 500 per acre totaling 21 000, and potential future expansions while soil borings show no weight concerns.
