he opposes "reasonably soon in

amendment to the legislation.
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

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

dim view of the Westland
amendment calling for specific
congressional authority to build
transmission lines. Instead, the
committee directed that the in

The secretary should not he

that; "This control has worked
a hardship on many residents
