- Description:
- The Bureau of the Budget has reviewed a report on the Broken Bow Reservoir project in Oklahoma, which recommends modifications to include hydroelectric power, fish and wildlife, and recreation. The estimated cost of the project would increase significantly, but local interests will repay costs for water supply. The Department of the Interior believes that power from the project can be marketed to cover costs, but the Bureau of the Budget emphasizes the need for a 50-year repayment period for power investments. They have no objection to submitting the report to Congress, but cannot commit to a timeline for construction based on budgetary considerations.
