Preliminary Plans for Reclamation Projects and Security for Farms
Mr Bashore outlined the Bureau of Reclamation inventory of potential projects totaling just under three billion dollars at prewar prices. About 150 000 farms would receive security as preliminary plans proceed. Work on 40 authorized projects could be accelerated if construction funds are provided, with many projects needing Congressional authorization. The list is provisional, subject to basin and field reports, and dependent on field investigations, pre construction work, and funding.
