General investigations.-Two flood control studies will from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to the Gulf of Mexico, includ-be completed, and four will be continued. Basic data ing the main alluvial stream, the basins of the St. Francis subsequently used in planning and designing projects are and White, lower Arkansas, Yazoo, Tensas, and Atchafalaya Rivers, and Bayou Lafourche, and the alluvial lands around Lake Pontchartrain. The adopted plan calls for raising and strengthening about 1,600 miles of existing levees along the main river, for enlarging or constructing some 1,700 miles of levees on tributaries and in side basins, for channel improvement by bank stabilization and by dredging a navigation channel 12 feet deep and 300 feet wide from Baton Rouge, La., to Cairo, Ill., and for five flood-detention reservoirs on minor tributaries. 3. Construction.-The estimated total cost of flood control and related improvements in the lower Mississippi of which $1,370 million has been appropriated through River and its alluvial valley is estimated at $1,911 million, 1965. The funds requested will be applied to continuation of 10 features. 4. Maintenance.-Provision is made for operation and maintenance of major features of the project.
