Florida Canal Gets Six Million Approval For Barge Route
The House Appropriations Committee approved six million dollars Thursday for the Cross- Florida Barge Canal project and said construction will proceed with no new ecological studies. Secretary of the Interior Walter Hickel had paused work for a month to permit studies. The committee contends existing studies show short term losses but long term gains in environmental quality. Army Engineers report the project is over one third complete and call for continuing construction with limited further study.

Senate Treasury aide David M Kennedy said there is a good chance Congress will see increased taxes next year but no request to extend the 4 percent income tax surcharge beyond its June 10 expiry. He noted potential corporate profits pickup later in 1970 and described possible estate, gift, and gasoline levies as alternative income measures. The hearing reviewed President Nixon’s request to raise the national debt ceiling from 477 billion to a higher limit.
