The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:50 a.m., in room 1324, Longworth House Office Building, Hon. Harold T. Johnson (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Mr. JOHNSON. The Subcommittee on Irrigation and Reclamation will be in order for the consideration of H.R. 869, to reauthorize the Secretary of the Interior to construct, operate, and maintain the North Loup division, Nebraska, of the Missouri River Basin project. The subcommittee visited this project during the month of July 1970, and compiled an extensive hearing record which has been made available to each Member of the subcommittee. This record contains a great deal of testimony relative to the physical plan and the attitude of the people living in the vicinity of the project. For this reason, we hope that witnesses from the State will observe the committee's 5-minute rule which requires that prepared statements be filed for the record and oral summaries be limited to 5 minutes. The reason we do this is to make sure we get the hearing completed today so that the people who planned to leave town will have an opportunity to be heard. It is only through this cooperation from the witnesses that we will be able to complete today's hearing. The Chair would like to further note that hearings involving some of our witnesses are proceeding simultaneously in the other body. We will nevertheless proceed in the order of our witness list and if any person has been detained at the other hearing, it would be the intention of the Chair to pass him by for the present and then recognize him when he comes back into the committee room. At this time, unless there is objection, H.R. 869, introduced by our colleague, the Honorable Dave Martin, will be placed in the record at this point to be followed immediately by the report of the Department of the Interior, dated January 25, 1972. This report which carries the approval of the Office of Management and Budget is favorable, if amended, as recommended. Is there objection? Hearing none, so ordered. |
