Authority of Water Resources Council to Expend Carried-Over Funds

This document discusses the authority of the Water Resources Council to expend carried-over funds after the end of fiscal year 1978. It outlines the legislative history and appropriations for the Council, as well as the lack of authorization or appropriation for fiscal year 1979. The conclusion reached in the document is that the Council would continue to exist and would have the authority to spend funds carried over from previous fiscal years. The questions presented for review include whether the Council would continue to exist and have the authority to spend carried-over funds, as well as the reconciliation of authorization and appropriation statutes.
