1945 Senate Report on the Missouri Valley Authority Act: Evaluation and Recommendations, 1944-12-22

The Senate Committee on Commerce has reviewed Bill S. 555, which aims to establish a Missouri Valley Authority for water control and resource development in the Missouri River region. The committee recommends removing provisions related to navigation and flood control, as they believe the War Department and Army Engineers are best equipped to handle these matters. They highlight the expertise and experience of the Army engineers in managing flood control projects and recommend that control over navigation and flood control in the Missouri Valley remain with the War Department. The committee also emphasizes the importance of federal control over flood control in the entire Mississippi Basin.
