Get your sound degree at HOUSE OF RECORDS Congress overrides Bush veto NATIONAL WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress overrode President Bush's veto Monday and en acted legislation doslgnnd to regulate the cable television industry and curb rising rales It was thn first time tho House and Senate had thwarted Bush’s veto during his presidency. Tho House voted 30H-114; tho Senate 74-25. Both were comfortably over the necessary two thirds majority Bush had successfully vetoed 35 previous bills Clapping, cheers and hand-shipping erupted on the Democratic side of the House floor us the vote total neared the magic number of 2HU. assuring the veto would bo overridden Democrats began chanting, "Co. go. go,” as the vote total crossed that number The override came despite an intensive last minute lobbying campaign by the White House eager to preserve Bush's perfect record and avoid a highly publicized defeat one month before the election Opponents of the bill blamed election-year pol itics for the override, but proponents said con sumer anger over soaring rates led to wide bi partisan support for the measure In both cham bers. "This is not a partisan piece of legislation,” said Rep lidward Markoy, D Muss., co-author of the bill that relmposos government regulation on the (able TV Industry "It is an Issue between the cable industry and the consumers of our coun try " But earlier in the Senato, Republican leader Kohert Dole said, " This is an attempt to emburrass tho president 30 days before the election. That's what this is all about." The Senate vote was seen as the crucial tost of the president'* veto strength on tho issue. White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwator said earlier Bush was telephoning lawmakers and "we obviously hope wo switched soma." Bush had breakfast Sunday with night senators he hoped to sway But the Senate vote was identical to its original roll call on tho cablo TV bill last month. Dole said that he’d gathered 32 votes against overriding tho bill, but couldn’t muster tho two others needed to sustain the president's veto, thereby freeing senators to go back to their origi nal votes. "This is a tremendous victory for consumers.” said Cone Klmmolman of tho Consumer Federa tion of America, which supported tho bill. "This shows that the Congress has rejected election year politicking and chosen to stand by consumers to protect them from the excossos of cable monopo lies." Tho bill would require the Federal Communi cations Commission to sot rates for basic cable service in communities whore cable companies operalo as monopolies, n aiso is unsigned iu en hance competition from other companies that can provide expanded programming similar to cubic. And in a concession to the broadcast industry, it requires cable companies to negotiate with lo cal broadcasters before carrying their signals. "The president says competition will not in crease with this bill.” said Sen. Daniel Inouyo, D Hnwail. "He is wrong. If wo do not pass this bill, there will never be competition to cable." Republican Son. John Danforlh of Missouri, a co-author of the bill, cautioned Democrats not to characterize the vote as a weakening of the presi dent. "I know a lot of weight has gone on tho presi dent's perfect record on vetoes.” Danforth said. "A lot of presidents have had voloos overridden, and they have been very strong presidents." Ho pointed out that nine vetoes by President Reagan were overridden. After tho Senate voto. Fitzwatcr said. "Wo stood for lower cablo bills for the consumer through increased competition. This is an impor tant principle. Wo genuinely bollevo that our ap proach would bo a bettor way to increase tho vari ety of services available to the consumer at lower prices." Tho legislation had won big majorities in both houses — 280-12B in the House and 74-25 in the Senate. 25% OFF DRAWING PADS s.
