| Title | The 94th Congress of the United States (1975) |
| Description | On the domestic front, the agenda for the 94th Congress will probably include attempts to override President Ford's vetoes of the Oil price control extension bill and the $7.9 billion education bill. Another important item on the agenda will be tax reform legislation. On foreign affairs there will be further attempts to reverse the Turkish arms embargo and secure congressional approval for the sale of Hawk missiles to Jordan. The Sinai agreement will also come before Congress if Dr Kissinger's current mission succeeds. Congress will have to take another look at the military procurement authorisation bill, the conference report on which was unexpectedly rejected by the Senate on its last day of July. The 94th Congress was described as having a veto proof Democratic majority effective in Congress by cutting off funds for Vietnam and Cambodia and imposing the Turkish arms embargo. Summary record of meeting between HM minister and Senator Hugh Scott, Minority Leader in which Scott discussed President Ford, Korea, Defence, the Soviet Union and the Panama Treaty. Calls on other members of Congress to cover military aid for Turkey, the Middle East, Defence and Britain and the EEC. Edward Kennedy. Sir Peter Ramsbotham, British Ambassador in Washington DC. |
