Flood Control Bill Faces Senate House Clash
Washington June 10 The House refused to accept Senate amendments to a 375 million flood control bill. A joint committee will reconcile differences as the measure funds about 150 river projects and 100 reservoirs but carries no appropriations. Proponents claim presidential veto risk if amendments fail. Proposals include federal funding shares for land and relocation costs and transfer of hydroelectric development authority. The Caddoo dam in eastern Colorado is seen as assured if the bill passes.
