WASHINGTON (UPI) — A balky Congress finally gave
President Ford the mass transit bill he wanted but also
forced him to accept two other measures he had vetoed.
By a surprisingly large margin, 288-109, the House
approved and sent to the White House a sll.B billion, six
year program to help urban mass transit systems.
In a telegram from Japan, the traveling President in
formed Congress he would sign the bill.
But the Senate dealt Ford two blows, overriding his
vetoes on an expansion of the Freedom of Information
Act, 65-27, and a vocational rehabilitation bill, 90-1.
Ford has now vetoed 13 bills, and three of the vetoes
have been overriden.
Only five times in history and not since 1921, has only
one senator backed the president on a veto. The lone vote
against the vocational rehabilitation veto was cast by Sen.
William L. Scott, R-Va.
On five other occasions —the last in 1908 —Congress has
unanimously rejected a veto.
Although the Freedom of Information Act expansion
now goes into effect, the $B5l million rehabilitation
program remains in dispute.
Ford contends he used a pocket veto on the bill, refusing
to sign it while Congress was in a 30-day recess. A pocket
veto cannot be overridden.
Congress argues that a 30-day break for the elections
does not constitute adjournment for the purposes for a
pocket veto. The Supreme Court may have to rule.
After a hectic first postrecess week, the House took the
day off and the Senate scheduled routine legislation today.
The House Judiciary Committee continued
confirmation hearings of Nelson A. Rockefeller to be vice
president.
The Senate Rules Committee planned to unanimously
approve the Rockefeller nomination, but chairman
Howard W. Cannon, D-Nev., said there was “no chance”

The Senate and House approved similiar, although not
identical, bills designed to regulate the way government
gets information on individuals and how it is used. The
House bill passed, 353-1, and the Senate bill, 74-9.
But another major measure, which congressional
leaders hoped could be passed before the end of the year,
ran into more trouble. Senate-House negotiators, seeking
a compromise strip-mining bill reached a deadlock. No
new meeting was immediately set.

While parading, Laurie keeps
in elbow contact with her band
mates as much as possible.
“The other kids help me out,
too, telling me to march more
to the right or left if I’m
getting off stride,” she said.

Despite handicap, Laurie plays in the Osborne High
School Band. Laurie, who plays the clarinet, listens as the
football game goes on, waiting for halftime, where she
joins the band on the field.
Music hasn’t been that much
of a problem. Laurie sits in the
middle of the clarient section
for two practice sessions,
taping her friends’ music on a
recorder, then listens to the
tape at home to learn it.
“She never forgets her part,”
Caldwell said. She has also
brought out the best in fellow
band members who wait for
her at the end of the halftime
show to assist her back in the
bleachers, he said.
Laurie was given a horse by
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Bagwell. She says she has been
“bucked off a few times ... but
I’m improving. My main
problem now is that I don’t
have much time to ride.”
