Part 1 of the hearing record covers fiscal year 1986 appropriations for the Corps of Engineers' civil work, the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, and the Tennessee Valley Authority as authorized in H.R. 2959. Four witnesses for the Corps of Engineers described the civil works program and requested legislative action to reverse some of the retrenchment of recent years. A specific request for a new Congressional charter for water resources development and management would put the federal, state, and local governments in partnership. Interior Secretary Hodel and two other witnesses spoke of the need for a water management strategy that would serve national interests, one that would address supply, quality, and cost together. Two directors of the Tennessee Valley Authority described the impact of the proposed budget cuts and their effect on TVA programs.
