Congress Overrules Ford on School Lunch Bill
Congress crushed President Ford's veto with large margins, overriding the school lunch and child nutrition measure in both chambers. The House vote was 397 to 18 and the Senate 79 to 13, amid Republican defections and criticism of the program's cost. Ford warned of broader fiscal cuts, while supporters argued the bill costs about 200 million more than current programs and is aimed at aiding hungry children.
