SEC. 4. (a) The Secretary is authorized to amend contracts heretofore 
made under the Acts of September 30, 1950 (64 Stat. 1083), and of 
August 31, 1954 ([68 Stat. 1026), whereby the water users assumed an 
obligation for winter power replacement based on the winter water 
savings program at the Minidoka powerplant to relieve the contractors 
ratably by one-third of that obligation, and to make new contracts

(a) of this section. 
(c) No construction shall be undertaken on facilities of the Lower 
Teton division which are required solely to provide a full water supply 
to lands in the Rexburg Bench area until the Secretary has submitted 
his report and finding of feasibility on this phase of the division to 
the President and to the Congress. 
SEC. 5. There is hereby authorized to be appropriated for the con-
struction of the Lower Teton division of the Teton Basin Federal 
reclamation project, the sum of $52,000,000, plus or minus such 
amounts, if any, as may be justified by reason of ordinary 
fluctuations 
in construction costs as indicated by engineering cost indexes appli-
cable to the types of construction involved therein, and, in addition 
thereto, such sums as may be required to operate and maintain said 
division.
