Congress Faces Vetoes And Aid Cuts In Turbulent Year
In a pivotal session Congress overrode President Ford's veto of a 45 billion dollar fiscal 1976 appropriation for Labor and HEW. The Senate vote 70 to 2 made the bill law, while House supporters argued it curbed inflation and deficit risks. Also, the House cut off US aid to Angola amid Cold War tensions with Russia and Cuba, with a 323 to 99 vote. The era shows bold, independent action by Maryland's delegation and ongoing detente challenges.
