CHAPTER 923 
AN ACT 
To reauthorize construction by the Secretary of the Interior of Farwell unit, 
Nebraska, of the Missouri River Basin project. 
Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assemoled^ That the authoriza-
tion for construction, operation, and maintenance of the Farwell unit 
of the Missouri River Basin project contained in section 9 (c) of the 
Act of December 22, 1944 (58 Stat. 887), as amended and supple-
mented, is hereby amended to authorize the construction, operation, 
and maintenance of works to furnish irrigation water for approxi-
mately fifty-two thousand five hundred acres of land in Howard, 
Sherman, and Valley Counties, Nebraska. 
The principal works of 
said unit shall consist of a reservoir at or near the Sherman site, works 
for the diversion of water from the Middle Loup River and its delivery 
to said reservoir, and necessary pumping facilities, canals, drains, 
and related works. 
There shall also be included as a part of the 
Farwell unit such watershed management and channel works as are 
necessary to provide channel stability in the light of the anticipated 
application of irrigation water to the lands involved and appropriate 
portions of the costs of constructing, operating, and maintaining such 
works shall be allocated to irrigation and returned in the same manner 
and under the same conditions as other irrigation costs of the Missouri 
River Basin project: Provided^ That any contract entered into under 
section 9, subsection (d), of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 
(53 Stat. 1187, 1193, 43 U. S. C, sec. 485 (h)) for payment of those 
portions of the costs of constructing, operating, and maintaining the 
Farwell unit which are allocated to irrigation and assigned to be 
repaid by the contracting organization may provide for the repayment 
of the portion of the construction cost assigned to any project contract 
unit or, if the contract unit be divided into two or more irrigation 
blocks, to any such block over the period specified in said section 9 
(d) or as near thereto as is consistent with the adoption and operation 
of a variable payment formula which, being based on full repayment 
within the period stated under normal conditions, permits variance 
in the required annual payments in the light of economic factors 
pertinent to the ability of the organization to pay. The Farwell unit 
shall be integrated, physically and financially, with the other Federal 
works in the Missouri River Basin constructed or authorized to be 
constructed under the comprehensive plan approved by section 9 
of the Act of December 22, 1944, as amended and supplemented. 
The 
Secretary is authorized to transfer to the Department of Agriculture 
from funds available for construction of the Farwell unit such sums 
as are reasonably required to construct necessary water management 
and channel works as hereinbefore provided.
