Senator Jake Garn ) said the letter was written as a result of recent meetings with officials of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District. The Central Utah Project is far behind the original schedule, primarily because of under-fundinGarn said. The Bureau of Reclamation originally r construction proprojected a with a total cost of $308,806,000. gram Construction was begun in 1966, but so far only three and f years of the facilities of the original program have been completed. In the meantime, costs for the CUP have risen to a projected $862,667,000. During this past year alone, costs increased by approximately $30,000,000. The more the project is under-fundethe longer it will take to build and the more it will cost. added Rep.

The project received funding for this fiscal year. The delegation's $42,465,000 letter asked Higginson if there was any reason the CUP would be unable to absorb the additional funds and what technical resources or personnel would he required to implement an accelerated construction schedule. The group asked the commissioner to comment on the Bureau's capability to obligate the requested funds. In addition to the inflation in the cost of the project by the delays in funding, the delegation said more delays would delay development of revenue producing capabilities" and eventual repayment of funds to the government. McKay also complained that further inadequate funding would mean continued detail of Utah's share of Colorado River water, neglect of Indian water interests and delayed energy development. This years drought further points up the necessity of completing all units of the CUP as rapidly as possible," commented Garn. VA disability checks larger in December More . than 2.25 million disabled veterans 11,000 in Utah will receive larger Veterans Administration disabi- lity checks next month, reflecting a 6.6 percent increase in compensation payments, according to Elmer J. Smith, director of the VA regional office in Salt Lake City. This increase results from a bill signed into law by President Carter Oct. 3. In addition. Smith said increased payments will also go to nearly a quarter of a million widows 750 in Utah of service personnel who died on active duty or whose deaths were service connected. The compensation increase will total $358 million in fiscal year 1978. The new rates mean veterans will receive monthly checks ranging from $41 for those with a 10 percent disability to $754 for those rated 100 percent disabled. Additional monthly payments for these disabled veterans are made if the veteran is 50 per cent or more disabled. The basic rates of VA dependency and indemnity compensation (death payments) for widows or widowers of veterans under the new law will range from $277 to $708 monthly, based upon the serviceman's or veteran's rank. As with compensation, VA may make additional DIC payments according to the number of dependents. The increases provided by this law will be paid automatically, however, Smith urged veterans nr dependents with questions to rnntact the Veterans Administration.

William Committee, chairman of the Hathaway, Senate Subcommittee on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse.

We are talking about a crisis in our society which exists in every community regardless of size or localea crisis which is of monumental and incalculable proportion. Therefore, it is appropriate, and necessary, for the federal government to assist in the treatment of alcoholism as a family illness and a social disorder in order to provide the help alcoholics and their immediate relatives desperately need.

Hatch stated that more than 28 million children are living in homes with parents who are suffering from the disease of alcoholism; at least half of all juvenile delinquents have family members with drinking problems; half of all divorce cases show excessive use of alcohol as a major causative factor; and a definite correlation exists between battered wives, neglected and abused children and alcoholism.
