Red River money sought

of the Arkansas, Louisiana,
Oklahoma and Texas congres

together Friday to seek an addi

Corps of Engineer projects in
the Red River Valley.

$33.5 million for the navigation
project, saying it was originally
scheduled for completion in the
mid-1980s but “may not be com
pleted until the year 2000” un
less funding is increased.
“The Red River is one of the
few remaining undeveloped
major river basins left in our
country,” the group said, “and
we are concerned that recent
funding levels for projects in the
valley have not been adequate to
efficiently address the need.”
In letters to the chairmen of
the House and Senate approp
riations committees, the group
asked for funding for a water
development bill so work could
be accelerated on the Red River
Navigation project and bank sta
bilization efforts could be ex
panded along the river. .
The group wants to make
sure that there are no more
slowdowns in the construction
of five locks and dams and other
improvements designed to allow
barge traffic to once again travel
between the inland city of
Shreveport, La., and the Missis
sippi River.
The project was authorized in
1965 and initial funding began
in 1973. A total of $430.9 million
in federal funding has been allo
cated so far for the project esti
mated to cost $1,461 billion.
The delegation asked that
“Extensive benefits of the
navigation project in the areas of
flood control, bank protection,
reduced sedimentation, water
supply, fish and wildlife, and
valley-wide developments will
result from completion of the
waterway,” the group’s letters
said.
ally from low employment. Ma
jor industries have not de
veloped in the basin because of a
lack of navigation facilities and
the uncertainty of river bank sta
bility,” they said.
The group also requested
$28.8 million for levee and bank
stabilization in the Red River
Valley to “preserve the desirable
alignment of the Red River in
addition to preventing the des
truction of valuable property
and improvements.”
Corps be directed to provide up
to $3.5 million to reimburse loc
al funding of channel improve
ments on Bayou Bodcau near
Shreveport. Federal funding
was canceled in 1976 but the
group said “Congress has since
determined that this project
should go forward as originally
planned.”
“The area encompassing the
Red River Basin is economically
depressed and suffers chronic-
“If this work is not done now,”
the letters said, “far greater ex
penditures will be required in
the future to accomplish the
same ends.”
The group also asked that the
Joining in the request for
additional funding from Texas
were Sens. John Tower, R, and
Lloyd Bentsen, D, and Demo
cratic Reps. Sam Hall Jr. and
Jack Hightower.
Also joining the request were
10 senators from Arkansas,
Louisiana and Oklahoma, all

using the student’s file.
While there will be only one
file per student, Lacey said the
task force is looking for a secur
ity system to keep unnecessary
or confidential information
from certain departments’ files.
However, it has not been de
cided how much information
each department will be able to
see in the student’s file, he said.
Lacey said they are looking
for a system where information
can be keyed to an individual
terminal only.
All three of the companies
offer canned programs — prog
rams with certain limited func
tions — but Texas A&M needs
functions in addition to those in
the canned programs. These
special functions will have to be
written in a special program.
“A&M has certain unique
things it wants written in,” Lacey
said. But the cost begins to go up
