Excerpt from History of Federal Water Resources Programs and Policies, 1961-1970

It is always somewhat arbitrary to select one particular year rather than another as the beginning of a new period. But 1966 does seem to be the beginning 'of a new period, because the years 1965 and 1966 produced an exceptionally large number of ambitious water-oriented acts of Congress and several important Executive orders. Indeed, 1966 was intended, by both the executive branch and Congress to be a year of important new program beginnings in both water pollution control and comprehensive river basin planning oriented to the new water development purposes of municipal water supply and recreation. Because of Vietnam era budget stringencies, however, less fun ding was made available for these new programs than had been anticipated.
