Water import study funding cleared by committee
The House Appropriations Committee kept the $892,000 for the West Texas and eastern New Mexico water import reconnaissance, split as $467,000 to the Bureau of Reclamation and $425,000 to the Corps of Engineers. The measure trims overall public works spending but sustains the long term effort aimed at a Mississippi River valley water source with a target final report in 1972. Clif Chamberlain calls the decision a positive step for continued studies.
