SUGARMAN Cr, at Administrative Officer M5. GERALDINE H. ELDER Executive_ Secretary Mayor Jackson requested that I contact you concerning the anti- recession/public works assistance legislation (Public Works Capital Development Act of 1975 - H. R. 5247). The Southern support for this legislation was strong in the House of Representatives which demonstrates the success of your lobby efforts. Please contact the members of your state's Congressional delegation who voted for the legislation and thank them for their support. (See enclosed list). It is important that we urge continued support for the legislation because it will be vetoed by the President. Special efforts should be made to hold the votes of the Republican members of your state delegation who supported the legislation. Congress will be in recess from Wednesday, February 11, until Tuesday, February 17. The President must veto this legislation by midnight on February 13. It appears that a veto override vote can be expected in the House any time after Tuesday, February 17. Senate action will immediately follow if the House overrides the veto. I am enclosing the voting record of the southern Senators on this legislation to help you in further lobby efforts in the case of a veto. Thank you for your continued cooperation. cb g /11((. ./It. js�c. t of 1078 'rom: Maynard Jackson For- Southern ttegion -N. C. b. M.
