Ford optimistic Congress will sustain Nixon veto on rehab bill
House Republican Leader Gerald R Ford voiced optimism that the House will sustain President Nixon s veto of a 2.6 billion vocational rehabilitation bill, while acknowledging the Senate likely will override. The policy committee backed the veto urging Democrats to bring a bill acceptable to the administration. The measure would fund states to train the handicapped for jobs with about 80 percent federal funding, costing roughly 1 billion more than Nixon s budget over three years.

Nixon proposes single unified federal drug agency under DOJ
President Nixon calls for all drug enforcement powers to be merged into a new Drug Enforcement Administration within the Justice Department. The plan would absorb BNDD, customs anti drug units, and related offices, with an administrator reporting to the attorney general. He cites fragmented agencies and world wide trafficking as reasons and seeks mandatory minimums for hard drug pushers. The administration says the war on drugs is expanding with more agents and rising arrests.
