Congress Overrides Ford Veto On Public Works Jobs Bill
Congress, with a major election year aim to cut unemployment, overrode President Ford's veto to enact a 3.95 billion public works jobs bill. The House vote was 210 to 96 and the Senate 73 to 24, promising about 200000 construction and other jobs and 90000 existing state local positions. Ford condemned the bill as pork and said it would spur inflation, while supporters stressed rapid job creation through state local grants and anti-recession funding.
