“This amendment restores $8 million for the Pyramid Lake water rights settlement. Funds available from a previous amendment which reduced funding from the territorial assistance account is sufficient to offset this amendment. This water rights settlement is very important to the constituents within my congressional district. The final payment for the Pyramid Lake settlement is due next year, at which time an agreement will be implemented to supply much-needed water to the Reno-Sparks area. It is my understanding that the committee intends to fully fund this program in time to consummate this important water rights agreement.”
