Byrd defends spending restraint after Carter veto
Senate Majority Leader Byrd rejected the idea of a Congress versus White House split after President Carter vetoed the 10.2 billion public works bill. He cited budget discipline and cited airline deregulation and tax-cut restraint as proof of fiscal responsibility, noting he had 64 votes to overturn the veto if needed. Carter defended the bill citing 53 new water projects and costs of 1.8 billion to taxpayers, while Byrd argued its necessity for water supply, flood control, and job creation.
