Mr. Chairman. I would like to express my opposition to the Gejdenson amendment on the delivery of Federal irrigation water for socalled surplus crops. I fail to understnd why this bill has become a vehicle for undocumented and unpredictable amendments such as this. Like the Miller amendment which this body debated earlier. this amendment has not seen the light of day in committee before coming to the House. My understanding is that the one hearing that dealt with this issue was actually in consideration of a different version of this legislation. This is not the way the House should pass legislation which will have farreaching effects on the very livelihood of so many citizens.
