Metcalf asked for money to be-
gin the 3 II year job of designing
multi-purpose Libby Dam, already
authorized by Congress but cur
rently tied up before the Inter-
national Joint Commission, which
must approve International Boun-
dairy water projects.
Montanans in Congress would get
around the IJC by building the dam
in two stages, the first backing water
to, but not across, the boundary. The
second story would be added if and
when agreement is reached with Can
ada on division of benefits.
Whether the second story is built
or not, the Montana delegation would
go ahead with the first stage, main
tanning that thereby the United
States in general, Montana, in par
ticular, would stake it's claim to at
least part of the flow of the Koo-
