He told Callaghan and Giscard dEstaing he lacks power to force New York officials to permit permanent rights while seeking a calmer study of environmental impact.

Committee clash over Sprague tenure prompts pay fears
Gonzalez accused Sprague of dishonest and irresponsible conduct, alleging he sought control over staff, promised salaries beyond funds, and dodged a forced removal. He warned staff costs, already cut 233 percent, would exceed the budget by 820,000 monthly if salaries were paid. Sprague was fired and later reinstated by the panel, sparking a debate over who can dismiss the attorney. Rep Richardson Preyer urged working together to avoid a "Wednesday afternoon massacre."
