Reading Room Document
Encroachment Problem in "No Appropriation" Provisions
The document is a memorandum addressed to Egil Krogh, discussing the "no appropriation" provisions in five different statutes. The conclusion reached is that the Watershed Act memorandum from February 27, 1969, is applicable to each of the statutes listed. It also notes that the Small Reclamation Projects Act is slightly different due to a "committee disapproval" clause, but this difference is not of constitutional significance. The document presents questions for review regarding the encroachment problem in the "no appropriation" provisions of the statutes listed.
