handle is hein.gao/gaobadafn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASH INGTON B-9240 - - MAY 2- 1940 The Honorible, The Setretary of the Interior. Reference is made to your letter of areh 21, 1940, as follows: the Interior Department Appropriation Act of May 10, 1939, (53 Stat. 685), contains the following items WATER CONSERVATIM AND UILfl PROJECTS For construction, in additiod to labor and matertals to be supplied by the Works Progress Admnistration, of water conservation and utilization projects, including acquisition of water rights, rights-of-way, and other interests in land, in the Great Plains and arid and semiarid areas of the United States, to be inediately available $5,000,000, to be allocated by the President, in such amunts at he deems necessary, to such Federal Departments, estab- lishments, and other agencies as he may designate, and to be res- bursed to the United States by the water users on such projects in not 'to esceed forty annual installments: Provided, that expenditures from Works Progress Administration funds shall be subject to sua provisions with respect to reimbursebility as the President may determine . Several projects have already received allocations under the above authorization. The data upon which these projects were sub- mitted to the President had been obtained by the Reclamation Bureau in the course of surveys for projects which were heretofore being studied for possible construction under the provisions of the Seclawation Act. Said investigations were paid for from appropria- tions from the Reclamation fund. 01n addition to these projects, existing reconnaissance surveys indicate that there are many other projects which might be built under the appropriation item in question, i# investigations and surveys of them could be completed. Reclamatiom fund appropriations for investi- gations are all required in connection with regular reclamation in- vestigations in progress, and are not, therefore, available for in- vestigations of water conservation and utilization projects. Son question, however, has been raised as to whether any part of this $5,000,000 appropriation for the water conservation and utilization projects is available for investigational work. 4
