He also lists land and tax items but stresses noncontroversial welfare measures first.

Reclamation Repays Millions Assures Committee
Washington February 20 AP Western reclamation is in the high tide of its greatest program and pours hundreds of millions of dollars yearly into the economy. Commissioner Michael Straus told the House Appropriations Committee that federal irrigated lands yield over 500 million annually with a cumulative 6 billion by 1948. Direct repayments to the treasury from reclamation reach about 44 million annually and climb as new works finish. He seeks 354 million for next fiscal year, calling it a sensible minimum, noting new starts are out and already started work would stop without funds. The budget funds 32 projects including 20 Phase A units in the Missouri Basin. Straus urged the program to bring more lands under irrigation, citing census trends of rising population, food demand, and power-driven growth.
