Texas water plan on hold without new national standards
Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby and Sen. Max Sherman warn President Nixon and Texas lawmakers that new National Water Resources Council standards set to take effect Oct 25 could end the federal state partnership in water projects. They claim the policy would limit federal support for environmental features and force in state project planning, risking billions invested in Texas water development. A double header convention plan for legislators is noted.
