House Sustains Strip Mine Veto In Split Vote
The House backed President Ford's veto of a federal strip mining bill by 278 to 143, near the two thirds needed. Supporters argued for reasonable regulations to reclaim lands disturbed, citing two million acres already exposed and 2,000 more acres mined monthly. Ford warned of oil vulnerability amid foreign supply pressures and possible job and production losses if the bill passed.
