Show Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee and the Subcommittee on Bureau of Reclamation and Power Marketing Agencies of the Senate Appropriations Committee in support of appropriations for the Colorado River Storage Project and other projects within their respective states. Their testimony was very well received, and it was evident that our four Governors made a very good impression on both Appropriations Committees. The Governors strongly supported an appropriation for initiating the construction of the Silt Project in fiscal 1964. Shortly following the four Governors' appearance before the Appropriations Committee, the President transmitted to the Speaker of the House of Representatives a recommendation (H. D. 125) to increase the budget for fiscal 1964 by $500,000 to initiate construction of the Silt participating project. The following table indicates the breakdown in the budget requests for the Colorado River Storage Project. The Public Works Appropriation Bill for 1964 is still lying dormant in the House Appropriations Subcommittee as of September 30, 1963.
