Dr. Mead appeared confident that congress would not fail at its next session to appropriate the $125,000 necessary for the survey for the Casper-Alcova and several other pro- jects. The resolution which cov- ered the appropriation at the last session was on its road to final passage but was killed by the pro- longed attempt of an Arizona sen- ator to insert a project in his state.
