In <br />addition, cooperative studies are being made by the U.S. Public Health <br />Service to determine the need for and value of storage for municipal and <br />industrial water supply and water quality control. The findings of the <br />investigation will be coordinated with other Federal and State agencies prior <br />to completion and submittal of the report on Arkansas River above John Martin <br />Dam during the latter part of Fiscal Year 1965. The investigation of the <br />reach of Arkansas River in Colorado below John Martin Dam is tentatively <br />scheduled for completion in Fiscal Year 1966, and will be included in a <br />report covering the Arkansas River and tributaries from John Martin Dam to <br />Great Bend, Kansas. <br /> <br />The proposed report of the Chief of Engineers recommending a plan for <br />flood protection in the vicinity of Las Animas is presently with the <br />State and Federal agencies for review and comment. After receipt of comments, <br />it will be sent to the Bureau of the Budget for review and comment before <br />submission to Congress. It is anticipated that the project will be con- <br />sidered for authorization in an omnibus bill, probably during the next ses- <br />sion of Congress. <br /> <br />2 <br />
