The amendment, drawn up by Rep. Jack Westland, R-Wash., would require the Beonneville Power Administration to get specific authority from Congress before building any powerlines outside the Pacific Northwest. The Senate committee recom mended appropriation of $5 mil lion to purchase land and equip ment for the power intertie and an additional $1.5 million for preliminary engineering. Two Line Intertie The committee said the two- line intertie should connect (he BPA system to the Central Val ley Project power system at Tracy, Calif, It said the Pacific Northwest also should be connected through the mtertie to the federal Colo rado River power system. This would include connections with the existing Hoover, Parker and Davis Dams and with the pro posed Bridge and Marble Can yon dams in Arizona, The committee directed that if only one line were constructed at this time it should run from the BPA system to connect with the CVP system and the Hoover Dam power plant. The Senate committee did not SBy so, but apparently took s dim view of the Westland amendment calling for specific congressional authority to build transmission lines. Instead, the committee directed that the in terior secretary continue nego tiations with utilities for possible private construction of the lines. The secretary should not he eift construction, the committee said, until he had conducted "good faith negotiations" with utilities and had found that out side proposals did not provide the benefits of federal construc tion.
