BILL TO SENATE
Washington, Dee. 18 U.R)---
The house has approved and
sent to the senate conference
report resolving differences be
tween house and senate versions
of the 1500.000,000 rivers and
harbors bill.
The conferees made only two
changes in the bill as lt passed
ine senate. One restored a house
amendment exempting the Cen
tral Valley project in California
from the reclamation law pro
vision limiting to 160 acres the
farms which could be irrigated
with water from federally fi
nanced projects.
The second change eliminated
a senate-approved $25,000,000
project for development of the
Santee and Congaree rivers in
North and South Carolina.
Rep. Alfred J. Elliott, D.,
Calif., author of the Central Val
ley amendment, told reporters
he had made last-minute fight
to save the provision. Chairman
Joseph Mansfield of the house
conferees had said before the
conference that threats of a pres
idential veto had virtually kill
ed chances of including the El
liott amendment
Elliott told the house today
that there had been "rumors"
of veto but that the house
should not be swayed by such
reports.
"I admit that some applica
tions of the limitation may be
unfair, but I believe that we
should have separate bill on
the subject" he said. 'The
amendment as it appears In the
bill would give an advantage to
some Urge landowners In the
area."
Rep, George Z. Outland, D.,
Calif., also suggested that the
problem - should be handled
through separate legislation.
Elliott denied (hat (he amend
ment would work to tha advant
age of large landowners and
said all congressmen and sena
tors concerned with the Central
Valley project had approved his
provision. ,
The people of my district
will be the ones paying for the
water," he said. "If the people
of Mr. Voorhls' district wanted
to obtain water from the Cen
tral Valley district they'd have
to carry it over tha mountains
in a bucket"
