Congress set to vote on budget clashes in Washington
Congress faces pivotal votes this week that could determine if President Ford can rally support for his budget. House Democrats aim for a two thirds vote Tuesday to override Ford’s veto of a 45 billion labor health education and welfare appropriation, while also acting on a 112 billion defense bill with a rider barring funds from aiding factions in the Angolan civil war. The Senate added that rider last month.

Project director Helen Lien said the plan would not bind the city if the Nebraska Crime Commission funds are not approved. City Manager Maynard Dils cited City Attorney Dorwart's opinion that the city could be required to fund the program if state monies fail to materialize.
