Veto battle to decide who rules Capitol Hill
Washington reports a series of veto override votes in Congress to shape economic policy. The first test is Wednesday in the House on Ford’s veto of a 5.3 billion jobs bill backed by Speaker Carl Albert. Democrats need Republican votes to reach two thirds. The bill would fund public works to put 900,000 to work. Ford argues recovery starts when funds are spent. Other veto fights loom on strip mining, oil import fees, housing, energy and local public works. Ford has vetoed 32 bills since taking office. Congress has overridden four.
