President Clinton Vetoes Water Bill

Oct 7, 2000 5:12 PM




WASHINGTON (AP) - President Clinton vetoed a $23.6 billion energy and water
bill spending bill Saturday, saying it poses environmental harm by blocking
his plans to let the Missouri River ebb and flow with the seasons.

The issue has set environmentalists and upriver recreation interests against
downstream farmers and barge shippers.

The measure for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1 had passed the House,
301-118, and the Senate, 57-37, but the latter vote would fall short of the
two-thirds majority needed to override a veto.

In a statement, Clinton said a rider attached to the overall bill jeopardizes
the survival of three threatened and endangered species.

``It would also establish a dangerous precedent aimed at barring a federal
agency from obeying one of our nation's landmark environmental statutes,'' he
said.

The president also complained that the overall bill is larded with ``scores
of special projects for special interests.''

And he said Congress failed to include enough money for a long list of
priority concerns, including the environmental restoration of the Florida
Everglades, the California-Bay Delta initiative and a plan to restore
endangered salmon in the Pacific Northwest.

``It also failed to fund efforts to research and develop non-polluting
sources of energy through solar and renewable technologies that are vital to
America's energy security,'' he said.

``I urge Congress to quickly produce an energy-water bill I can sign,''
Clinton said.
