Congress overturns Ford veto on Labor-HWEW bill
Congress overrides President Ford for the 12th time in 27 tries, enacting a $56.6 billion Labor Health Education and Welfare appropriation over his veto. The vote clears the way for rival jobs bills, including a $3.7 billion public works program and a one-year 260,000-job public service program. Democrats and Republicans join in the override, with Mondale voting yes and Dole absent. Provisions include limits on federal abortion funding and farm OSHA coverage.
