<br />
<br />As construction progresses year-by-year under the autho.t'ized Missouri
<br />
<br />Basin river control program, the effective operation of completed projects
<br />
<br />for multiple-purpose public service becomes increasingly important.
<br />
<br />This is particularly significant ,nth- respect to the Missouri River
<br />
<br />main stem reservoirs of the Corps of Engineers because of their immense
<br />
<br />capacity for storage of water to stop floods and to supply water for many
<br />
<br />authorized useful public purposes. This main stem system, as you know, is
<br />
<br />now advanced to the point where four major reservoirs are in service, a
<br />
<br />fifth is about 70 percent complete, and the sixth is well under construct-
<br />
<br />tion.
<br />
<br />While the Corps of Engineers, as the design and construction agency on
<br />
<br />these projects, has final responsibility by law for their operatirn, it is
<br />
<br />our policy to seek the advice ffild reco~nendations of all State and Federal
<br />
<br />agencies concerned with the Basin program on the most effective regulatory
<br />
<br />program to serve ,the best interests of the entire Basin. This policy has
<br />
<br />been consistently followed since the new reservoirs began to come into
<br />
<br />operating status in 1954.
<br />
<br />This program of careful and coordinated management of the available

<br />
<br />water supply through storage has made possible quite good water service
<br />
<br />for all authorized functions of the main stem system. As portions of
