EKLUJNA PQV/tR PROJECT
The nrcject, which will pay for itself
over a period of years and will supply
power to Palmer, Anchorage, The Aladca
Railroad, Fort Richardson, Elmaidcrf j>lr
Force Base and three rural electric coo
peratives, would be constructed by the
InteMa* Department. The Senate committ
ee deleted additional power contained in
the House-approved, bill for the Secre
tary of the Interior t: undertake bread
scale hydroelectric development in Alaska
end investigations relating to the devel
opment of natural resources in the Terri
tory. The iclctlon of the wider power
c jntalned in the House bill was exp} ined
in the Senate report on the measure: "The
committee desires to emphasize that its
action in eliminating from the House
bill the ruth rlty fer the Secretary of
the Interior to undertake broad.-scale
hydroelectric development In Alaska
should net be interpreted to mean that the
comm ttec is net convinced of the imper
: ta.nce of hydroelectric development In
Alaska. Evidence in supaort of the need
for such development has been substan
| tlnl and Impressive. The committee fav
: ora such development but is of the opln
' len that the need for immediate action on
ja broad front is net so compelling as to
I require the adoption and assignment at
