Since the Executive Committee of MASWCD 

 acts for the state association during the year» 

 this is what has been done and what will be 

 done: Letters have been sent to Montana 

 Congressional delegation in Washington, D.C. 

 to support NACD recommendations of SCS budget, 

 extend the Great Plains program without any 

 changes, continue RC&D projects. Increase 

 Small Watershed budget to $75,000,000, 

 Flood Prevention to $28,000,000, Conservation 

 Operations $125,000,000. 



Plans are also being finalized to send 

 a MASWCD delegation to Washington to meet 

 with Montana's Congressional delegation, SCS 

 Administrator Ken Grant and wherever else we 

 might be able to get a foot in the door. 

 Authorization of this delegation was made at 

 the State Convention in Sidney lastNovember.
