UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
March 3, 1849
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20240
March 12, 1964
Memorandum
To:
Mr. Lee White, The White House
From:
Orren Beaty, Assistant to the Secretary
Subject: Major Accomplishments of the Department of the Interior
since November 22, 1963.
The Department of the Interior has made major accomplishments in
several fields since November 22, 1963. The most significant have
been in water and power.
WATER AND POWER
(1) Columbia River Deve lopment Treaty with Canada. A Protocol was
agreed to with the Government of Canada for the cooperative develop-
ment of the water resources of the Columbia River which has enabled
the Canadian Government to recommend ratification of the Treaty to
the Canadian Parliament. Canadian ratification has been pending for
more than three years.
(2) Electric Power Rate Reduction in Southeast. Wholesale electric
power rates were reduced an average of 5 percent for preference cus-
tomers in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina by the Southeastern
Power Administration. Thirty-nine rural electric cooperatives, 49
cities, two state public power agencies, a large generation and
transmission cooperative, and a private utility will benefit.
(3) Missouri Basin Financial Study. A comprehensive study of
financing the Missouri River Basin levelopment program was completed
and recommendations made to Congress. Needed new projects, such as
the Garrison Diversion Unit in North Dakota, can now be given early
consideration. An unavoidable power rate increase was held to a bare
minimum--one-fourth of a mill per kilowatt-hour.
