today. The measure was sent to

The President has 10 days, not
counting Sunday, in which to veto
the bill and the Democratic lead

claimed it has the vote in the House
to sustain veto.
Both Republicans and Democrats
apparently were agreed that there
should be no recess until the Presi-
dent has either signed or vetoed
the bill, or it has become law
through inaction on his part. Many
political strategists in the House
claimed the President probably VIII

Republican and Democratic lead
ers refused comment on when the
congressional recess may be taken
