Debate over new spending ceiling and veto threats
The proposal would keep the 250 billion spending ceiling but require the President to propose cuts for Congress to approve. Rep. Mills warns the substitute could end Democratic control while inflation fears grow, as Mills cites Nixon vetoes on education, housing, antipoverty and other programs. The bill would raise the debt limit to 465 billion through June 1973, with automatic drop to 400 billion if Congress fails to act.
