Carter facing veto fight over $102 billion public works bill
President Carter, backed by key senators and House leaders, weighs a veto of a $102 billion public works measure containing 53 projects. Senate approval was 87 to 9, House 319 to 71. Senator Bennet Johnston urged compromise, while Speaker O'Neill warned a veto could trigger a broader clash. Carter worries the bill is wasteful though supporters tout it as water and energy investment, as gas price and energy policy leverage loom amid Capitol Hill pressure.
