On the recordOctober 8, 1998
S. 890 is a very important bill. It helps a small town in Utah, and it saves the American people millions of dollars. The Town of Dutch John was established in 1958 by the Bureau of Reclamation to provide housing and serve project construction needs for the construction of Flaming Gorge Dam. This provision will privatize certain lands at Dutch John which are no longer needed by the Bureau of Reclamation. In an agreement reached between the local county and the Bureau, this language will transfer these lands and save the taxpayer over one million dollars annually. I ask my colleagues to give S. 890 their full support.
