Water fight
headed by
Californian
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Senate cleared the way
Wednesday for oxpectod ap
proval of major changes in
(California walor policy that
could shift scarce federally
controlled water from agri
culture to fish and wildlife
protection.
The bill had been stalled
on the Senate floor for two
days as Sen. John Seymour.
R-Calif., carriod out his
threat to use whatever delay
ing action is available to
block it.
But a compromise worked
out with Seymour set the
stage for a final vote on the
bill Thursday. The legisla
tion. which allocates federal
water In 17 western statos
and provides Si)22 million
for completion of u massive
Utah water project, has al
ready been approved by the
Houso.
Seymour said thnt under
Senate rules he had no other
means available to prevent u
vole, and that he expected
the bill's approval.
Seymour had brought Sen
ate business to a halt on
Tuesday demanding that the
entire :)96-page bill be read,
and on Wednesday he de
bated for nearly six hours a
substitute bill that would as
sure that farmers were not
deprived of water from the
Central Vulley Project in
California.
With most senators absent,
the Senate planned to ap
prove Seymour's bill by
voice vote later Wednesday
night, knowing it would go
nowhere because the House
already has left town.
