Gentlemen, the committee has before it this morning Senate bill 4971, introduced by Senator Smith of South Carolina, to authorize the designation and withdrawal of water-power sites and the construction of water-power and other plants by the United States for the manufacture of nitrates, and for other purposes. The clerk will insert the bill referred to in full in the record. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the President at any time, in his discretion, may, by Executive order, designate for the exclusive use of the United States any site upon a navigable river, the improvement of which for purposes of navigation will make available at such site surplus water power over and above the needs for navigation. After being so designated, and until the designation is modified or revoked, every such site shall be developed and improved only in the manner and for the purposes authorized by this act. Sec. 2. That the President may also at any time, in his discretion, withdraw from settlement, location, sale, or entry and reserve for the exclusive use of the United States any public lands of the United States, including the Territory of Alaska, whether within national forests or other reservations or withdrawals, which are valuable as water-power sites for the purpose of this act or which contain limestone, phosphate, coal, or other minerals or materials needed for the production of nitrates or other products as contemplated in this act. Sec. 3. That the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized and directed to investigate and to recommend for designation or withdrawal such dam sites, water-power sites, and mineral or other lands as in his opinion will be necessary for carrying out the purpose of this act, and is further authorized to construct, maintain, and operate at or on any site so designated or withdrawn, dams, locks, other improvements to navigation, power houses, and other plants and equipment necessary or convenient for the generation of electrical or other power for the production of nitrates or other products useful in the manufacture of fertilizers and munitions of war: Provided, That all plans and specifications for dams in navigable rivers shall be submitted to and approved by the Secretary of War.
