Turning to the business at hand, the President underscored his determination to spend prudently by ordering a cut of more than half in an $11 billion authorization for building waste-treatment plants, thereby angering Congress, which had earlier passed the bill over his veto. Moving on to Key Biscayne to confer with Shultz and John Connally on a new economic game plan, Nixon was at pains to show that he had picked up a second wind for his second term.

Albert's political impotence became embarrassingly apparent when he failed to stop President Nixon, who, with the help of Democrat Wilbur Mills, tried to bestow on himself an item-by-item veto over spending programs authorized by Congress. Eight months ago, some talk of replacing Albert started circulating through the Capitol. His gentle ways and his unwillingness to assert his authority decisively left many Democrats wondering where they could find someone capable of more vigorous leadership. Challengers were not hard to find. Mills...
