Hagie are doing very effeotive <br />..work in Washington in getting money for this year's reolamation program. <br />Judge Stone stated that money needed for steUl power plants should not be <br />obtained as part of the reolamation appropriation but from SOme other source. <br />If appropriations for steam pl~ts are made a part of the reolamation <br />program it will lead to issues and oontroversies and weaken the effective work <br />for striotly reclamation development. It is getting beyond the primary purpose <br />of the program. Although projeots may nelt prooeed as fast as we should like <br />at present we should see that adequate funds beoome available to the Bureau <br />and assist them in getting ready for projects when the emergenoy is over.
