His press secretary announced that other vetoes were possible until the President and Congress reached agreement on the budget impasse. The Defense Appropriation conference report which contains authority to permanently extend the exemption relating to OPIC and ExIm financing for projects in India is in the cue and could be affected by this action. Congressional authority for government operations expires this week as does the one-year exemption. Congress must act by Thursday to extend both items. Congress is expected to adopt a "continuing resolution" through October 29 while the two branches of government work out their differences. The President and Congressional leaders are to meet today to discuss and possibly establish a procedure for negotating the disagreement.
