Power buyers favored in renewals and equitable share
The Interior Department agency in the Pacific Northwest was urged to favor current power purchasers in contract renewals to ensure they meet local needs. When new power becomes available, distribution should be proportionate among current and new buyers. The president's budget faced an $84,293,244 cut from $459,970,835, with $29,944,260 in contract authority approved to be appropriated later. The bill adds $375,677,591 cash, $112,876,532 above last year, funding reclamation, mines, Alaska transport, and the National Park Service, though these programs were already budgeted for more.
