PRIATION FOR CONSTRUCTION AND REHABILITATION
WAS FROM THE GENERAL FUND FOR FY 1980, AND

MONEY TO COVER PROGRAMS FOR INVESTIGATIONS, RESEARCH, REIM-
BURSABLE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, GENERAL ADNINISTRATIVE
EXPENSES AND THE EMERGENCY FUND, WE GIVE PRIORITY TO THE
USE OU RECLAMATION FUND MONEY FOR THESE ~URPOSES. THE SHORTAGE
, IS IN THE FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION, AND THAT IS WHY
