The vote on the veto tomorrow will be to sustain or override the President in denying water and sewer grants to rural Americaa program costing about $120 million. Yet at the same time he would deny help for clean water and pollution control to Americans. $20 million was authorized under the further continuing appropriations resolution for a water treatment and prototype desalting plant in Israel. Other interesting programs around the world include the $35 million grant for the disaster victims of Nicaragua. $157 million over 2 years for continuation of the Peace Corps. $100 million grant for refugee relief assistance in Bangladesh. and the recently announced release of $31 million of the appropriated $50 million to voluntary Jewish organizations to provide assistance to Soviet Jews immigrating to Israel. The Presidents urging of fiscal responsibility and noninflationary budgetary controls clearly has a double standard. When budgets must be cut and prorgams eliminated. it is always the Americans who are asked to tighten their belts.
