Basin program; 
(2) there is a need to put to beneficial use water from the 
Missouri River within the State of North Dakota; 
(3) there are municipal and industrial water resource prob-
lems in North Dakota that are presently unmet; 
(4) there are irrigation and agricultural water needs in areas 
which cannot be met by the Garrison Diversion Unit as pres-
ently authorized; 
(5) the Garrison Diversion Unit, as presently authorized, 
^ 
raises significant issues of economic, environmental, and inter-
national concern; 
• 
(6) the water needs of the State of North Dakota should be 
resolved by contemporary water development alternatives; and 
(7) a Secretarial commission should be established to examine 
the water needs of North Dakota and propose development 
alternatives which will lead to the early resolution of the 
problems identified, 
(b) No funds appropriated under this title for the Garrison Diver-
sion Unit, Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin program, shall be expended or

members. The commission shall cease to exist on December 31,1984. 
(2) The commission is directed to examine, review, evaluate, and 
make recommendations with regard to the contemporary water 
development needs of the State of North Dakota, taking into

(v) water delivery by pipeline, and 
(vi) instream flow needs; 
(E) the possible use of groundwater recharge for municipal

(F) the current North Dakota water plan, including proposed

southwest pipeline project) should be recommended for Federal 
funding; 
(G) whether or not the Garrison Diversion Unit can be rede-
signed and reformulated; 
(H) the institutional and tax equity issues in the State of 
North Dakota as they relate to the authorized project and

(J) the environmental impacts of the water development alter-
natives mentioned in this section, compared with those of the 
Garrison Diversion Unit, including impacts on wildlife refuges, 
wetlands, wildlife habitat, waterfowl, and other environmental 
impacts as well as make recommendations to reduce and mini-
mize those impacts; and 
(K) the international impacts of the water development alter-
