Colonel ALLEN. Not in numbers. I have it in dollar volume. There is about somewhere between three and four million dollars' worth of justifiable small projects yet to be accomplished after this $2 million is appropriated. I do not have it in specific numbers. Mr. RABAUT. Supply it for the record. (The requested information follows:) Backlog of active small authorized projects [Projects having an estimated Federal cost of $150,000 or less which have not been budgeted for through fiscal year 1957] 1 Includes cost of channel at East Point which has been completed by local interests. Work has been accomplished by local interests. The total estimated Federal cost is $212,000 but local interests have given firm assurances that they will bear all costs in excess of $150,000. Mr. FOGARTY. What did you ask the Bureau of the Budget for? Mr. FOGARTY. Just what you received? Colonel ALLEN. Yes, sir; that was our request for last year, too. Mr. FOGARTY. You are asking that amount every year until you get this backlog cleared up? Colonel ALLEN. We asked for $2 million last year and there was $4.5 million appropriated for this program, so we were able to move ahead much faster in 1956. Mr. FOGARTY. Are you going to supply for the record a list of those justifiable projects that you will not be able to complete this year? Was that in the question? Mr. RABAUT. I only asked for the number that remained. Mr. FOGARTY. Will you supply for the record the list of those projects? Colonel ALLEN. Those that are not included in this year's program? Mr. FOGARTY. Yes. Colonel ALLEN. Yes, sir. Mr. FOGARTY. And the States? Colonel ALLEN. Yes, sir. (The information is concluded in the material beginning at p. 1179.) CURRENT STATUS OF SMALL LOCAL PROTECTION, EMERGENCY BANK PROTECTION, AND SNAGGING AND CLEARING PROJECTS Mr. DAVIS. On the local protection flood-control projects can you furnish us with the allocations that have been made and will be made with the current fiscal year funds? Colonel PENNEY. Yes, sir; the projects that have been undertaken this year; yes, sir. Mr. DAVIS. Was it $1 million in the current year? Colonel PENNEY. We had $700,000 appropriated last year. Mr. DAVIS. You have some carryover? Colonel PENNEY. That is correct, sir. Mr. DAVIS. Can you give us the same information with respect to the emergency bank protection, as well? Colonel PENNEY. Yes, sir. Mr. DAVIS. I think it would be well to do the same thing on the snagging and clearing.

There are some 35 problem areas currently under field investigation. The total estimated cost of the remedial work that may be necessary at these locations is not known at this time. It is also not known whether all or just a portion of the areas will qualify for remedial work. Mr. DAVIS. Now, do you have even a tentative list of those you expect to include under the flood control, local protection projects up to $150,000 for the 1957 fiscal year on which this $3 million request is based? Colonel PENNEY. Yes, sir, for the small authorized projects rather than the section 212, sir. Mr. DAVIS. I am speaking of sections 205 and 212. Colonel PENNEY. Not the 3 million. The request is for 1 million. Mr. DAVIS. Excuse me, 1 million is correct. Colonel PENNEY. Yes, sir. We have a backlog list of projects which do qualify and are awaiting authorization by the Chief of Engineers pending appropriation. That is the list of projects to which we propose to allocate the funds. Mr. DAVIS. That same situation applies to your emergency bank protection and your snagging and clearing? Colonel PENNEY. To a lesser extent. We have certain projects which are awaiting funds and others, sir, are under investigation for determination as to whether they will qualify and if they do qualify, |
