Criticism rises over Corps memos on Mississippi River locks upgrade
Environmental critics released internal Army Corps documents alleging a senior officer ordered a tiger team to dismiss conflicting data and justify a 4 billion upgrade of Upper Mississippi River locks. The memos claim efforts to boost the civil works budget to 6.2 billion by 2005 and pressure to expand five locks despite a 50 million study finding no immediate need. Senator Grassley and Senator Harkin call for investigation.
