House overrides funding veto
Democrats still fighting Ford’s proposals
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The House
voted 310 to 113 Tuesday to override
President Ford’s veto of a $45 billion
bill to fund labor, health, welfare and
related programs, giving Democrats
an early victory in their election-year
drive against Ford’s economy propo
sals.
The override issue now shifts to
the Senate, which tentatively plans
to vote Wednesday. Democrats in
that chamber were optimistic.
Rep. Olin E. “Tiger Teague of
College Station voted in support of
the President’s veto, as did seven
other members of the Texas Con
gressional delegation.
Ford vetoed the bill Dec. 19 be
cause it was nearly $1 billion above
his budget recommendations. He
called it “a classic example
of. . . unchecked spending.
The vote came only six days after

the President submitted his budget
for the next fiscal year, urging Con
gress to hold to a tight $394.2 billion
spending ceiling.
Republicans pleaded for the veto
to be sustained as an indication of
Congress intention to show restraint
on the new budget proposals and aim
for balance within three years. “This
is the first money bill of the session,
Rep. Robert H. Michel of Illinois
said. “We are setting the spending
tone for the session.
Michel, the GOP whip, said a vote
to override would be a signal to spe
cial interests that they could get what
they want from Congress.
Democratic leaders only hours be
fore the vote were telling reporters
they had only a fighting chance to
override. Rut when the showdown
came 49 Republicans joined 261
Democrats to provide a margin 28
above the two-thirds needed to over
ride. Voting to sustain the veto were
92 Republicans and 21 Democrats.
Both sides agreed that this veto
would be one of the most diff icult for
Republicans to sustain. The bill
funds a variety of politically appeal
ing programs, including maternal
and child health care, research on
several major diseases, nutrition
programs for the aged, vocational
rehabilitation and the community
services undertakings that are the
remnants of President Lyndon B.
Johnson’s War on Poverty.
In a last minute effort to hold Re
publican and conservative Demo
cratic votes, Michel offered a com
promise that would have set the
funding at a level $424 million below
that specified in the measure but still
$491 million above Ford’s budget
recommendation.
Minority Leader John J. Rhodes,
R-Ariz., said he was confident Ford
would sign such a bill. But Demo
crats argued even this amount of
funding would require cutbacks in
vital programs.
Rep. Daniel J. Flood, D-Pa., han
dling the bill, said it represented an
average increase of 7 per cent over

Teague admits to
Bahamas junket
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Shortly after
Rockwell International was named
prime contractor on a $5-billion
space shuttle program, Rep. Olin
Teague, D-Tex., chairman of the
House Space and Technology Com
mittee, accepted an invitation for a
trip to Rockwell s resort in The
Bali am as.
Teague said today he accepted the
1973 trip, that Sen. Herman
Talmadge also went along and that it
was all business. But a, spokesman for
Talmadge said the Georgia senator,
went to do some deep-sea fishing and
even brought back a marlin.
Teague said the trip was “a
weekend of work. There was no
hunting and no fishing. The presi
dent of Rockwell asked if I would go
to talk about the shuttle that
weekend and I said, Sure.
The College Station, Tex., con
gressman said he flew to Bimini at
Rockwell s expense.
A spokesman for Talmadge said
the senator had previously acknowl
edged taking the trip, and that he
went there to do some fishing.

duct, members, off icers or employes
