In recent years the cur~ <br />rent Comprehensive Type I and other special investigations have been <br />supported by these funds. <br /> <br />The allotment and expenditure history of the Missouri River Basin <br />Project has been plotted in graph form on plate 1. The solid line rep- <br />resents allotments and the dashed line indicates the annual expenditure <br />picture. The comparative positions of the two lines point up certain <br />instances in which monies allotted were carried over and expended in <br />later years. <br /> <br />Bureau of Reclamation <br /> <br />Because the Missouri River Basin Project is basically one of land <br />and water resources development and because the Bureau of Reclamation is <br />Interior's engineering and construction organization for the reclamation <br />of land, that agency has the prime burden for planning and constructing <br />the water storage and distribution works. Other agencies of Interior <br />investigate and plan for fish and wildlife, recreation, and other fea- <br />tures of the development and their construction recommendations are in- <br />corporated into unit plans; thus, the Bureau of Reclamation has become <br />Interior's construction agency for the Missouri River Basin Project. <br /> <br />The production of hydropower at Interior's water-control works also <br />is a function of the Bureau of Reclamation, together with transmission <br />line construction and the marketing of all Federal power produced by <br />Missouri River Basin Project units. <br /> <br />There has been considerable variance in the total value of the <br />Bureau of Reclamation's construction over the years, as shown below: <br /> <br />Total value of construction contracts awarded by year <br /> <br />1948 <br />1949 <br />1950 <br />1951 <br />1952 <br />1953 <br />1954 <br />1955 <br />1956 <br />1957 <br />1958 <br />1959 <br />1960 <br />1961 <br />1962 <br /> <br />$ 33,013,719 <br />54.,602,006 <br />42,270,705 <br />22,764,176 <br />44,189,730 <br />39,408,189 <br />18,613,866 <br />22,021,082 <br />16,543,015 <br />36,487,175 <br />15,646,241 <br />14,140,551 <br />20,692,763 <br />77,846,875 <br />28,020,894 <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />;. :'. .:: ~ :' ~.-:"~: ';. - . ~ :.:>::::'::...~;':>,.-~':' .-::. ;;::-....:::.:.~. <br /> <br /><_.~-::........~:.:~ ':.-; ':: ;,.-;: :i..:J.">::': ..1,..... <br /> <br />.
