House sustains strip mine bill veto fight in Congress
The House failed to override President Ford's veto of a strict strip mining bill. Democrats and environmentalists led by Morris Udall argued to curb mining and protect jobs, while Republicans warned of higher utility costs and job losses. The veto override failed for lack of a two thirds majority. The debate included Sen. Henry Jackson and western governors urging a veto override as Ford cited potential economic harm. St. Paul depot closure hearings drew locals opposed to the plan, with final decision pending from the Kansas Corporation Commission after Topeka deliberations.
