IRISH EXTRA - INSIDE VOL. XXI. NO. 28 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1986 an independent student newspaper serving Notre Dame and Saint Mary's · Reagan veto of sanctions overridden Associated Press WASHINGTON The Senate voted 78-21 Thursday to over­ ride President Reagan's veto of tough new sanctions against South Africa, joining the House in enacting measures designed to force Pretoria's white-minority government to abandon apar­ theid. In dealing Reagan one of the most dramatic foreign policy set­ backs of his presidency, and the first substantive override of a Reagan veto, the Senate rebuffed administration pleas that the punitive economic sanctions would prove most harmful to South Africa's blacks. Five previ­ ous Reagan vetos, on lesser .is­ sues, had been reversed. Despite fierce lobbying by Reagan and other White House officials, and members of the Senate supportive of the qllmin· istration's policy, the final vote showed the president falling 13 votes short of the 34 needed to sustain the veto. Forty-seven Democrats and 31 Republicans voted to override Reagan, while 21 GOP law­ makers voted to back Reagan. Beat it Color provided by Anheuser-Busch, Inc. The Observer I Jim Carroll Sen.
