On October 15, 1966, pursuant to the order of the House on October 14, 1966, I submitted the following concurrence report and statement on the bill (S. 2947) to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act in order to improve and make more effective certain programs pursuant to such act: [p. 27131] Mr. BLATNIK. Mr. Speaker, I call up the conference report on the bill (S. 2947) to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act in order to improve and make more effective certain programs pursuant to such act, and ask unanimous consent that the statement of the managers on the part of the House be read in lieu of the report. The Clerk read the title of the bill. The SPEAKER. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Minnesota? There was no objection. The Clerk read the statement. The SPEAKER. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Minnesota [Mr. BLATNIK]. Mr. BLATNIK. Mr. Speaker, I am proud and privileged to report back to the House today with the conference report on the "Clean Waters Restoration Act of 1966," S. 2947. This House unanimously passed legislation covering the field of water pollution several weeks ago. As a result of amicable and farreaching meetings with conferees of the other body we come before you today with a conference report which has the unanimous support of all Members of the conferees on both sides of the aisle and in both bodies. This is a forward-looking and farreaching piece of legislation we present for your approval today. It moves the fight against the pollution of all of our Nation's waters forward on a proper and intelligently escalated scale. As the New York Times said "it is a good piece of legislation." I strongly recommend the approval of this conference report. I would like to pay particular tribute to my fellow conferees on both sides of the aisle; to our distinguished chairman, another fighter in the field of water pollution, the gentleman from Maryland [Mr. FALLON]; one of the outstanding experts in the field of water pollution and a man who has traveled all sections of this country in an effort to help clean up our waters, the gentleman from Alabama [Mr. JONES]; another outstanding advocate in the field of water pollution, the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. KLUCZYNSKI], and finally a man who has contributed mightily over the years to the drive for a stronger and more effective Federal program in the field of water pollution, the gentleman from Texas [Mr. WRIGHT], as well as the ranking minority Member, the gentleman from Florida [Mr. CRAMER] and his associates, the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. HARSHA], and the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. KUNKEL]. Some of the highlights of the conference report are as follows: This report authorizes $3.4 billion for construction grants for sewage treatment plants for the fiscal years 1968 through 1971; $450 million for fiscal year 1968, $700 million for fiscal year 1969, $1 billion for fiscal year 1970, and $1,250 million for fiscal year 1971. This represents an increase of $1,100 million over the total amount originally authorized by the House for 4 fiscal years and a decrease of some $2,450 million in the original version of the other body for 5 fiscal years. Under the conference report the dollar limitation individual grants and combined grants is done away with and in all cases the amount authorized for a Federal share for a single project or a combined on |
