      "summary": "The Energy and Water appropriations bill includes funding for civil projects of the Army Corps\nof\nEngineers, the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, much of the Department of\nEnergy and a number of independent agencies, including the Appalachian Regional Commission, the\nNuclear Regulatory Commission and the appropriated programs of the Tennessee Valley Authority. \nThe Administration requested $22.3 billion for these programs for FY1998 compared to $20 billion\nappropriated for FY1997 and $19.3 billion for FY1996. A conference bill reported ( H.Rept. 105-271 ) on September 25, 1997, agreed to $21.2 billion.\n  Key issues involving the Energy and Water appropriations programs included:\n   Full up-front funding for several construction projects proposed by the Bureau\nof Reclamation, Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Energy. The Congress did not fund\nprojects beyond the FY1998 period.  \n   DOE request to expand its privatization program for waste management and\ncleanup.  \n   Spending for the nuclear technology R&D, which involves electrometallurgical\ntreatment of DOE spent nuclear fuel.  \n   The Tennessee Valley Authority request to transfer authority over its nonpower\nappropriated programs and focus on its power programs in a deregulated market, starting in FY1999.\nThe Congress funded nonpower programs at $70 million for FY1998 and agreed to terminate funding\nafter that.  \n  The President signed the bill October 13, 1997. On October 17 he issued line-item vetoes on\neight projects funded by the bill: five in the Corps of Engineers, one in the Bureau of Reclamation,\nand two in the Department of Energy.\n  Since this report was last updated, data related to FY1998 appropriations may have changed\nthrough supplemental appropriations or rescissions, entitlement revisions, or scorekeeping\nadjustments. These changes will be reflected in a subsequent report.",
