K. Smith's Christ of the Ozarks project near Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Our inquiry showed that the funds in question had been pro- grammed for the improvement of a 2.5-mile Federal-aid secondary road which connects Arkansas Highway 23, a Federal-aid secondary route, with U.S. Highway 62, a Federal-aid primary route in Carroll County, Arkansas, near the community of Eureka Springs. Located near Eureka Springs is a tourism complex operated by the Elna M. Smith Foundation, a nonprofit corporation. The Christ of the Ozarks project is a part of the tourism complex. Although this road serves as a connection between two other highways, it also provides tourists with general access to the tourism complex. The total estimated cost of the proposed improvement of the road is $227,500. The primary Federal grantoi is the Federal Highway Ad- ministration, Department of Transportation--through the Arkansas State Highway Department--under its Federal-aid secondary road pro- gram The Administration has programmed $113,750 for this project from funds apportioned to the State for its secondary road program. This amount represents the normal share (50 percent) of the total project cost. Under the Administration's procedures, funds are nor- mally paid to the State in reimbursement of its costs as construction work progresses. In addition to the Federal-aid highway funds of $113,750 approved by the Administration for the secondary road, a supplementary grant of $68,250, or 30 percent of the estimated construction cost, has been approved by the Ozarks Regional Commission under authority of sec- tion 509 of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended. Supplementary grants are approved by the Commission ~('[±7Za7
