“I rise in support of S. 1467, which would authorize appropriations for the construction of a rural water supply distribution facility for areas around Fort Peck Lake in north-central Montana. Most residents of the area now must have their drinking water delivered by tank truck. The bill as amended would strictly limit Federal expenditures for upgrading the water supply system, and I urge my colleagues to support S. 1467. S. 1467 as amended also waives the statutory 60-day congressional waiting period for approval of a Bureau of Reclamation dam safety report for the Cachuma Project in California. I have no objections to this provision of the bill.”
