1.27g(2) HOUSE COMMITTEE ON INTERIOR AND INSULAR AFFAIRS H.R. REP. No. 254, 89th Cong., 1st Sess. (1965) FEDERAL WATER PROJECT RECREATION ACT APRIL 27, 1965.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union and ordered to be printed Mr. ASPINALL, from the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany H.R. 5269] The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, to whom was referred the bill (H.R. 5269) to provide uniform policies with respect to recreation and fish and wildlife benefits and costs of Federal multiple-purpose water resource projects, and to provide the Secretary of the Interior with authority for recreation development of projects under his control, having considered the same, report favorably thereon with an amendment and recommend that the bill as amended do pass. The amendment is as follows: Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert the following language: SEC. 6. [p. 1] (b) The first proviso of subsection 2(d) of the Act of August 21, 1958 (72 Stat. 563; 16 U.S.C. 662 (d)) is amended to read as follows: "Provided, That such cost attributable to the development and improvement of wildlife shall not extend beyond that necessary for (1) land acquisition, (2) facilities as specifically recommended in water resource project reports, (3) modification of the project, and (4) modification of project operations, but shall not include the operation of wildlife facilities." The second proviso of subsection 2 (d) of said Act is hereby repealed. [p. 3] Subsection 6 (b) amends the first proviso of subsection 2 (d) of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (72 Stat. 563; 16 U.S.C. 622 (d) ) to make it clear that facilities recommended in project reports for fish and wildlife enhancement may be provided in accordance with the terms of this legislation and it repeals the second proviso of that subsection of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, which applies to projects constructed under reclamation law. The effect of the repeal of the second proviso is twofold: first, it will result in the costs of mitigation of project-occasioned damage to fish and wildlife being distributed among all project purposes the same as other project costs; and, second, it will terminate the reimbursement policy for costs allocated to fish and wildlife enhancement now set out in the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act so that the reimbursement policy established by this bill may take effect. SEC. 6. [p. 15] (b) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as amending the first proviso of subsection 2 (d) of the Act of August 12, 1958 (72 Stat. 563; 16 U.S.C. 662 (d)), and the second proviso of subsection 2 (d) of that Act is hereby repealed. 1.27g(3) COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE [p. 21] UNIFORM POLICIES ON MULTIPLE-PURPOSE WATER RESOURCE PROJECTS JUNE 22, 1965.-Ordered to be printed Mr. ASPINALL, from the committee of conference, submitted the following CONFERENCE REPORT [To accompany S. 1229] REPORT The committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendments of the House to the bill (S. 1229) to pro vide uniform policies with respect to recreation and fish and wildlife benefits and costs of Federal multiple-purpose water resource projects, and for other purposes, having met, after full and free conference, have agreed to recommend and do recommend to their respective Houses as follows: That the Senate recede from its disagreement to the amendment of the House and agree to the same with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter inserted by the House amendment insert the following: [p. 1] SEC. 6.
