Appropriations bil1.From all indications,it wil1 be vetoedbecause of the funding it contains for a number of pork-barrel waterprojects.There is no question that it should be vetoed,and we areoptimistic that the House,at least,wil¹sustain that veto.  \nThe prevailing wisdom on the Hil1 is that since this bil1,in thebest pork-barrel tradition,has something for almost everyone it is\"veto proof.\"  We see some glimmers of hope,however,both for tax-payers who are tired of their tax dollars being wasted on pork,andfor conservationists tired of unnecessary,poorly planned waterprojects that destroy wildlife habitat and other natural resources.  \nThere are hopeful signs,for example,that the White House isfinally learning how to deal with Congress.The House Armed ServicesCommittee was pole-axed in its attempts_to override the president'sveto of the military authorization bil1.The Committee cou1d not evenround up a simple majority against the president.  \nIt now appears,also,that the White House is going to getnatural gas legislation out of Congress this session.  That lookedvirtually hopeless to us and many other observers just a few weeksago.  \nThe Public Works bill may well have more appeal among Congressmenthan the destiny of a nuclear carrier or of natural gas deregulation.However,the pork-barrel water projects are far more vulnerable topresidential criticism than any other disagreement that have recent1ybeen thrust into the public consciousness.We have recounted a numberof times in this space pork-barrel horror stories--the multimiliondollar taxpayer subsidies to local and special interests;the callousdisregard in project planning even for common~sense consideration muchless public interest concerns;the blatant political nature of fundingdecisions;and so on.  \nWe hope and expect that the President wil1 lay out all thesehorrors in his veto message to Congress.  If he does,these issueswill finally receive the national media attention they so richlydeserve.  With the electorate increasingly restive and conservative,especially in fiscal matters,we suspect the President's objectionswill not fall on many deaf ears.  \nThe election will be only six weeks away at the time of the veto,and since opponents are zeroing in on the incumbents,it seems to usthat many House members will face a tough decision.Voting to sustainthe President wil1 be the easiest way out for enough of_them,wethink,that,added to the hard core anti-pork-barrelers,the Presidentwill get the needed one-third plus one.  \nAs an additional glimmer of hope,we note that 71 House membersopposed the public works appropriations conference report,althoughthere was no wel1-organized effort to gather such support.This taliyis even more remarkable because the pork-barrel leadership_in theHouse made a concerted effort to run_up an overwhelming vote for theconference report as a signal to the President not to veto.With al1members of the House voting,only 146 votes are needed to sustain a  \na veto.During floor consideration of the appropriations bil1,143members voted against the projects the President finds offensive.Asa rule of thumb the President picks up support following a veto.  \nThere is much of value in the public works appropriation bil1,including legitimate and needed public works and funding for a numberof important energy programs.  We understand the concern of manymembers,fanned,of course,by the public work","cbCaiikxj7DF06qG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiikxj7DF06qG","pdf",1377332,"English","# Editorial/Opinion\n## Once Again Into The Pork Barrel\n## Hearings Completed On Great Bear Wilderness","[{\"question\":\"Why does the editorial argue the fiscal 1979 Public Works appropriations bill should be vetoed?\",\"answer\":\"It says the bill contains pork-barrel water projects that waste taxpayer money and are poorly planned in ways that destroy wildlife habitat and other natural resources.\"},{\"question\":\"What hope does the editorial express regarding how Congress and the White House will respond?\",\"answer\":\"It notes signs that the House and White House are learning to deal with each other, and it cites actions such as the House Armed Services Committee failing to override a prior presidential veto.\"},{\"question\":\"What actions were completed regarding the Great Bear Wilderness?\",\"answer\":\"The House Subcommittee on Indian Affairs and Public Lands completed hearings and markup on Sept. 19 of H.R. 13972, designating the Great Bear Wilderness Area and enlarging the Bob Marshall Wilderness.\"}]","CONSERVATION REPORT - Report No. 289 - 2nd Session - 1978-09-22 | PDF",1789960145,23]
