Letter Concerning Report to Authorize Construction

Letter: To Henry M. Jackson, 1965 (carbon copy), page 1212 (e) The national commission should review the proposal to build a dam at the Bridge Canyon site including the effect of the construction of such a dam upon the scenic value of the river. Pending the and (??) there completion of such a study, it would be wire appropriate for the Congress to establish a moratorium upon the issuance of a license to any' non-Federal entity for the construction of a dam at this site. (f) The commission should review any additional steps required to develop an effective program for the use and control of ground and surface water. For example, /the depletion of ground water reserves, recognized as a serious problem in the Department of the Interior's 1947 report/. on the Central Arizona Project has increased since that time. Separate legislation has been introduced (S. 32) to authorize the Southern Nevada Water Supply Project which would also be authorized under S. 75 and S. 1019. The Bureau of the Budget is submitting a separate report on this bill. If amended to reflect the above comments and recommendations, the Bureau of the Budget would have no objection to enactment of S. 1019 and S. 75.
