He stressed disciplined budgeting to avoid offsetting any federal tax relief.

Environmentalists Fight Dickey Dam in Maine Project
Army Corps official Col. James Mason told a House subcommittee that private power opposition is gone but environmental concerns remain for the Dickey Lincoln dam system in Maine. About 750000 of 1060000 preconstruction funds go to impact studies with results due in 1977. The Dickey dam would create a 53 mile lake on the St John River near the Canadian border and rise 335 feet over two miles, with a smaller dam planned at Lincoln eleven miles away. Original 1965 estimate was 227 million. critics now warn costs could top 1 billion.
