305 Rate-schedule provisions for the foregoing projects are varied. As to Grand Coulee, provisions of the Reclamation Law are applicable.271 As to the Detroit Dam and Chief Joseph Projects, the applicable rate-schedule provisions are those gen- erally governing power produced at reservoir projects under the control of the Department of the Army, discussed above.272 In authorizing the Hungry Horse Project, Congress declared its action for stated multiple purposes "and other beneficial uses primarily in the State of Montana but also in downstream areas."27S Apart from the possible relevancy of this provision, the statute is silent as to marketing requirements generally. But language used in appropriation acts contains conflicting suggestions as to the applicability of Reclamation Law.274 As to Bonneville, McNary, and Lower Snake River Projects, the rate-schedule provisions of the Bonneville Project Act govern.275 These are substantially the same as those applicable to the Fort Peck Project. In addition, contracts must insure that resale rates to ultimate consumers are reasonable and non- discriminatory.276 Moreover, the usual provision for pref- erence to public bodies and cooperatives is extensively augmented by requirements allowing time for their creation, organization, and financing.277 Authority for the integrated transmission network of the Bonneville Power Administration stems from statutory sources varied on a project basis exactly as in the case of provisions relating to rate schedules for those projects. In other words, in the case of the Bonneville, McNary and Lower Snake River Projects, authority for transmission lines is derived from the 271 See supra, pp. 295-296. 272 See supra, pp. 294-295. 278 Act of June 5,1944, § 1, 58 Stat. 270, 43 U.
