The Social Security measure, the biggest increase in the program's history, was tied to a bill extending the nation's $450 billion debt ceiling through Oct.

31. This linkage, sponsored by Democrats in Congress and voted for by most Republicans, made it impossible for Nixon to veto the Social Security boost without killing the increase in the debt ceiling. Had the ceiling not been increased it would have automatically dropped to $400 billion, thus crippling the government fiscally, since the present debt now exceeds $400 billion.

He said he is placing Congress on notice now that if this occurs and offsetting cuts in other programs cannot be made, "then I will not hesitate to exercise my right and responsibility to veto." Congress rushed through the measure yesterday just before recessing until July 17, and made it possible for the Social Security payments to be reflected in checks mailed Oct.
