<br />Appropriations FY 1983 and president's Budget Request, FY 1984, <br />Colorado Water Projeots (see Appendix C). <br /> <br />Mr. McDonald indioated that the congress failed to enact the <br />appropriations bill for FY 1983 containing funds for the Bureau <br />of Reolamation. As a result the Bureau is operating under a <br />oontinuing resolution whioh limits the Bureau's fiscal year 1983 <br />aotivities to the fisoal year 1982 levels. Under these <br />restriotions the Bureau's construction program has been <br />substantially reduced. However, Bureau representatives have <br />assured us that these reduotions will have little impact on the <br />major construotion oontraots underway on the projeots in the <br />state. <br /> <br />Mr. McDonald then reviewed the President's budget request <br />for FY 1984 and observed that fun4s requested for COlorado <br />projeots equaled, or in some cases exceeded the amounts available <br />for FY 1983. He felt that the funds requested were adequate and <br />will permit timely progress on oonstruotion aotivities. In this <br />oonnection, Mr. McDonald stated that hearings on FY 1984 budget <br />request before the House and Senate Sub-Committees On Energy and <br />Water Development and Appropriations would be held in late Maroh <br />or early April. Should he be asked to attend the hearings, he <br />would need authorization from the Board to present testimony in <br />support of Colorado projeots. He, indioated further that support <br />for two additional flood oontrol projeots--Fountain Creek and <br />Westerly Creek be inoluded in his'testimony.
