WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Senate on Thursday handed President Bush his first veto override -- authorizing $23 billion in 
new water projects.

The Senate voted to pass the bill 79-14, despite the president's objections.

Supporters said the projects authorized under the Water Resources Development Act are necessary to rebuild the Gulf 
Coast after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, restore the Everglades and Great Lakes fisheries and build 
flood-control projects nationwide.
