Western water bill sent to Reagan
The House and Senate approved a bill rewriting how 47,000 western farms receive federally subsidized irrigation water, sending the measure to the White House. It preserves the 1902 family farm preference for farms under 960 acres while charging higher rates up to full cost for larger operations, and repeals the near residence requirement.

House Defeats Embargo Drop On Soviet Pipeline Policy
The House voted 206 to 203 to defeat a Republican bid to lift Reagan’s embargo on supplies for the Siberia to Western Europe pipeline in a move that would still keep sanctions for 90 days unless Reagan certifies no slave labor. The amended measure, passed 209 to 197, hinges on certification and bipartisan criticism.
