Byrd Rebukes Bergland Over Punitive Comment Critique
Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd rebuked Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland for reportedly saying Carter would punish Democrats who oppose administration programs after the November elections. Byrd called the statement disappointing and counterproductive while noting a public preference for cooperation. Carter denied any such discussion and said he bears no animosity toward Congress. Byrd stressed the vetoes show cooperation, contrasting three recent administrations' veto histories.
