<br />on the Colorado River storage project. Particularly, the committee
<br />approves construction of the visitor center at the Wahweap site on
<br />LHke Powell behind Glen Canyon. Visitors to this area now are
<br />many, and as facilities increase with the progress of construction
<br />of the Glen Canyon Dam, additional visitors will come to the area
<br />for many purposes,
<br />"Seedskadee participating project, Wyoming.--The committee
<br />directs that not more than $95,000 of the amount for the Seedskadee
<br />participating project, Wyoming, be utilized for placing an asphalt
<br />surface on the Lincoln County, Wyo" road between U.S, Highway
<br />189 and the Bureau of Reclamation community of Fontenelle, It
<br />is the desire of the committee that before this sum is obligated,
<br />the State of Wyoming agree Lo assume financial responsibility for
<br />maintaining the road.
<br />
<br />"Rainbow Bridgr; National Monument.-Last year funds were
<br />provided for transfer to the National Park Service for the construc-
<br />tion of specific visitor facilities to provide access to Rainbow Bridge
<br />National Monument. It is the desire of the committee that the work
<br />contemplated be accomplished as rapidly as possible so that the
<br />facilities will be available when the level of Lake Powell will permit
<br />their use."

<br />the $550,000 for advance planning of the San Juan-Chama Project.
