Senate panel votes to kill eight water projects
Washington based Senate subcommittee, amid efforts to avert a presidential veto, voted to eliminate eight water projects Carter deemed environmentally or economically unsound. The action targets projects including Lake Mead, Yatesville Lake, Fruitland Mesa, Savery Pot Hook, Narrows Unit, and Oahe, with the Auburn Dam not on the list. House support for stopping funding was weaker, making a veto override unlikely. Stennis defended the move as a good faith adjustment and denied White House talks.

The move came during debates over food for peace and U S relations with Fidel Castro, with McGovern saying the amendment would trigger long, unproductive deliberations. The measures include about 1.7 billion for the State Department and related programs, while other actions target Ethiopia and Argentina for human rights concerns.
