More Water, Power
Land Use Projects
Due for Congress
MONDAY. JUNE XI. X962
By Congressional Quarterly
Washington - (CQ) - More
and beter resource develop
ment or a bigger pork bar
rel? That is the question that
Congress must decide as a re
sult of the new standards for
planning water resource proj
ects approved by the Presi
dent and announced by the
White House on May 15.
Experts estimate that there
will be about a 10 per cent
increase in proposals to build
water, power and land-use
projects submitted to Con
gress annually in the wake
of the new planning stand
ards. They also anticipate
that better balanced projects
with multiple-purpose bene
fits will be proposed to Con
gress under the new stand
ards. Congress presently receives
annually from the agencies
about 185 project reports rec
ommending construction of
new resource projects. These
are mainly water-shed proj
ects of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, flood control
and navigation projects of the
Corps of Army Engineers, and
reclamation projects of the
Interior Department.
Mew Standards Asked
At the direction of Presi
dent Kennedy, the new stan
dards were worked out by a
group representing the Secre
taries of Interior, Agricul
ture, the Army, and Health,
Education and Welfare. The
new standards supersede the
highly controversial Budget
Bureau Circular A-47 issued
on Dec. 31, 1952.
Both the new 1962 stand
ards and A-47 are attempts
to get the various federal
agencies operating in the re
sources field to use uniform
standards in appraising bene
fits and costs of water re
sources projects under their
Jurisdiction.
Congress repeatedly clash
ed with the Budget Bureau
over A-47. The Congressional
gripe was that A-47 was so
restrictive that it foreclosed
approval of many resources
project proposals, notably
public power and reclamation
projects. Congress ignored
A-47 in recent years.
The fate of the 1962 stan
dards is as yet undecided.
There has been little Con
gressional reaction to date.
While water and public pow
er lobbies generally favor the
new standards in comparison
with A-47, they are taking a
wait-and-see attitude toward
the new standards.

fUl JF S.
V Dlvrd. a
This is due to the fact that
while the new standards lay
down ground-rules to deter
mine benefits and costs of re
source projects, they do not
cover such vital problems as
cost allocation, reimburse
ment to the government and
cost-sharing with state and lo
cal interests.
The President has asked
the four Departmental Secre
taries to tackle these prob
lems directly. Achieving uni
formity in project repayment
and cost allocation almost cer
tainly will require Congress
ional action and will sure
ly stir up Congressional tem
pers. Public Power Upgraded
Both the 1862 standards
and A-47 provide that proj
ects may be built by the fed
eral government for the fol
lowing purposes: domestic,
municipal or Industrial water
supply; irrigation; water qual
ity or pollution control; navi
gation; hydroelectric power
and energy; flood control and
prevention; land and beach
stabilization; drainage; out
door recreation; and fish and
wildlife development.
Under both standards, a
project is justified if the es
timated benefits exceed the
estimated costs. But they are
evaluated quite differently.
For example, recreation, fish
and wildlife development and
public power are sharply up
graded as project purposes in
the 1962 standards.
Interior Secretary Stewart
L. Udall on May 28 called the
new set of standards "one of
the most important steps" tak
en by the Administration to
date m the resources field.
The National Wildlife Feder
ation on May 25 hailed "the
new importance given to rec
reation and fish and wildlife
development" in the new stan
Senate Document
Sen. Clinton P. Anderson
(D-N.M.) on May 17 asked
the Senate to publish the new
standards as a Senate docu
ment. It did. Anderson called
the new standards a "sound"
means by which "to devise.
authorize and execute trie
large programs that are ur
gently needed to match water
supply to the water require
ments of our rapidly grow
ing population and expand-
ine economy."
But there are critics of the
new standards who regard
them as being so broad as to
be nearly meaningless. Rep.
John H. Kyi (R-Iowa) on May
22 questioned whether "there
will ever be an unfavorable
cost-benefit ratio for a proj
ect" under the new standards.
That's whv Sen. trariK J.
Lausche (D-Ohio), Barry Gold
water (R-Ariz.), and Norris
Cotton (R-N.H.) fought the
shelving of A-47. Lausche pre
dicted the agencies would pre
sent "fantastic and extrava
gant" proposals, ana ooia
water warned that the agen
cies would send "cats and
dogs" to Congress in place oi
feasible projects. L-ouon m
the demise of A-47 would
"open the gates for more un
economic public power proj
ects and for an ever-larger
and more spacious pork-barrel."

Rotary Delegation
Attends Fly-In
An airborne delegation
from Medford was among the
more than 400 flying Rotari
ans from throughout the West
who attended the fifth annual
Rotary Fly-In held June 7 at
the famous Nut Tree restau
rant on U. S. 40, near Vaca
ville, Calif.
Present from Medford were
four planes and 17 Rotarians
including pilots Dr. Dwaine
Nelson, Fred Lewis, Frank
Lambrecht and Bob Kline.
Some 111 planeloads of Ro
tarians participated in the
luncheon meeting, which fea
tured William T. Piper Sr.,
president of Piper Aircraft
corporation.
The guests completed their
journey by rail, riding a Sier
ra mine gauge railroad from
the airstrip to the restaurant.
The "fly-in," sponsored by
the Vacaville Rotary club, has
attracted nationwide attention
and was featured last year in
the Saturday Evening Post.
one of the candidates, Ted
Kennedy, is the brother of
the President while the other,
Ed McCormack, is the nephew
of Speaker John McCormack.
Frankly, I don't see any
thing very humorous about
that. Most people have rela
tives, for politicians the more
the better. It could happen to
anyone.
But if all of the "Ted &
Ed" jokes spawned during
the campaign were laid end
to end, they would reach from
Pat to Mike.
No lest a personage than
Sen. Edmund S. Muskie
took note of the levity in
the situation when he ad
dressed the Massachusetts
Democratic convention at
Springfield Thursday night.
In his home state of Maine,
Muskie said, "we Democrats
used to wonder whether we
could find enough candidates
to match' the job opportuni
ties available."
"I understand that you
have a somewhat different
problem," he added.
"It will be up to the con
vention to choose between
Ted and Ed," and Muskie
made it plain that he didn't
envy the delegates that task.
U. S. Nuclear Device
Detonated in Pacific
Washington -HIPP- The Unit
ed States detonated a nuclear
device that set off a force
equal to several million tons
of TNT over the Christmas
island test zone Sunday.
The Atomic Energy Com
mission said the shot, the 17th
announced in the series, was
dropped from an airplane. The
AEC said It was in the "low
megaton" range, making It
one of the largest tested In
this series.
In view of the intensity of
the contest, he said he was
"glad to be representing the
United States Senate rather
than the White House or the
House of Representatives."
At the moment, he explain
ed, the Senate could be con
sidered "neutral ground,"
which took him off the spot.
"I am relieved that Lyn
don Johnson has no rela
tives running in Massachu
setts," he commented.
Muskie went on to recall
that some 65 years ago "the
chief justice of the Supreme
Court, the speaker of the
House and the president pro
tern of the Senate were all
downeast Yankees" from
Maine.
"It is obvious that Mass
achusetts is doing its best to
match that record," he said.
He also noted that either
Ted or Ed would be running
against a Republican candi
date in the general election.
"Indeed, it is apparent that
no matter whom you choose
for your senatorial nominee,
the campaign this fall will be
a contest between the dynasty
and the dinosaurs," he said.
