An amendment sponsored by Congressman Tom Petri, which would have delected $83 million for the Bonneville Unit from the 1987 fiscal year Energy and Water Appropriations bill, was defeated by a vote of 262 - 149. Critics of the CUP claimed that the Department of Interior in tended to allow the Central Utah Water Conservancy District to illegally use a provision of the Water Supply Act of 1958 to defer interest payments on the project- for up to 10 years. Nielson and Utah Senator Jake Gam hammered out a compromise with Republican George Miller, to respond to the allegation, but that measure was struck down under the rules of the House as an attempt to legislate on an appropriations bill. The measure, which would require interest payments to begin as soon as the project is complete, is expected to be utLached to the Energy and Water appropriations . . when the bill reaches the Senate. Miller, chairman of the Subcommittee on Water and Power Resources, offered an amendment to the previous years appropriation bill which required Utah to approve a repayment contract and gave Congress 100 days to review it and reject the contract if iL was unacceptable. Nielson pointed out' to his that Utah voters fulfilled their obligation to Congress last year when they approved a repayment contract by 73 percent and that Congress had taken no action against it. "To eliminate funding of the Bonneville Unit of the CUP would be unfair to the voters who acted in good faith, Nielson colleagues Utah has made a attempt to complete its part of the agreement.
