Annual Report on Progress
Fiscal Year 1968

..

Annually, the Missouri Basin Inter-Agency Committee prepares a
report summarizing the Committee's activities of the previous year.
This is the report for Fiscal Year 1968.

..

The MBIAC was chartered 23 years ago.by the Federal Inter-Agency
River Basin Committee and for the next nine years operated under
that authority. In 1954, with creation of the Inter-Agency
Committee on Water Resource (ICWR), the Charter was revised and
re-issued. Eleven years later, in 1965, the Water Resource Planning
Act was passed. Under this act, MBIAC was authorized to continue
and now reports to the newly created Water Resources Council. This
Act recognized Inter-Agency Committees as organizations for planning
and coordinating water and related land resource developments in a
river basin. The members of the Missouri Basin Inter-Agency Committee
are the Governors of the ten basin states and seven Federal represen-
tatives for the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers; Department
of the Interior; Department of Agriculture; Department of Commerce;
Department of Health, Education and Welfare; Department of Labor and
the Federal Pover Commission.

It

The Chairman of the Committee is chosen annually from the Federal
members. The Chairman Agency provides for the Secretary, Assistant
Secretary, and clerical assistance.

Since the first meeting of the Missouri Basin Inter-Agency Committee,
in July 1945, it has convened 154 times at various places throughout
the Basin States. The Committee nov holds regular quarterly meetings.

The Missouri Basin Inter-Agency Committee is charged with the respon-
sibility of establishing means and procedures to promote coordination
of Water and Related Land Resources activities of the Federal and State
agencies; to promote resolution of the agency problems at rel'lional
levels; to suggest to the Water Resources Committee and the States
changes in laws or policies which would promote coordination, or
resolution of Inter-Agency problems; and, at its discretion, to
communicate with the Water Resources Council on any matters of mutual
interest.

K

The Committee is instructed that its efforts on coordination of work
and resolution of conflicts will be directed toward all agency and
state activities involved in their respective water and related land
