Manitoba Premier objects to Garrison Diversion across interbasin divide
Letters from Premier Sterling Lyon and Canadian Ambassador Peter M. Towe to the U S Senate Appropriations Committee warn that Manitoba will not accept any plan transferring Missouri River water into Manitoba's drainage. They cite International Joint Commission findings of potential health and property damage and the violation of the Boundary Waters Treaty. The letters urge withholding any appropriation until interbasin transfers are dropped from consideration.
