President Bush announced on June 26 in formal statement that he is looking at "tax revenue increases" as one way to reduce the 1991 mounting federal budget deficit, estimated es-timated to range from $159-$227 billion, to get the stalled "summit" budget talks between the Administration and Congressional Democratic leadership moving again. They resumed on June 27. Now both federal tax increases and across-the-board federal budget cuts are seriously up for discussion. Budget officers in the agencies affected af-fected by the energy and water funding bill have told Western Resources Wrap-up (WRW) they have advised top officials in their agencies the figures in the House-passed House-passed bill are "soft." One budget officer told WRW he doubted appropriations ap-propriations for the federal agencies would be finalized until after the 1990 election in November, when he expected the final 1991 figures for the energy and water agencies would be considerably lower than the House-approved appropriations. Several think all domestic programs ultimately will be subject to 5-10 percent across-the-board cuts. The Senate is expected to act on the bill after the July 4 recess, but it will be months before final 1991 funding is determined for the energy and water agencies and projects.

Wes Watkins, D-Okla., a member since 1981, is running for governor in Oklahoma. Rep. Virginia Smith, R-Neb., a member since 1977, is retiring. re-tiring. This opens up two slots on the Subcommittee, perhaps to other Members from the reclamation West. The big increase in 1991 funding, as compared to 1990, in the bill was for environmental restoration and clean-up at DOE facilities. The House Appropriations Committee recommended $3,278,492,000 for this purpose, a $487,056,000 increase in-crease over the Administration budget bud-get request Rep. Vic Fazio, D-Calif., D-Calif., a member of the Subcommittee, strongly urged the House not to cut this sum dedicated to clean-up at DOE's nuclear production pro-duction plants, and it didn't Of the 129 general investigations (GI) listed for Corps water projects in the 1991 bill, 54 are for planning new projects, the Corps budget office of-fice told WRW.
