    Sec. 835l. Congressional declaration of financial policy;


        limitations on assistance; analyses and studies; ''net

-STATUTE-


      It is declared to be the policy of the Congress that reclamation


    projects hereafter authorized in the Pacific Northwest to receive


    financial assistance from the Federal Columbia River power system


    shall receive such assistance only from the net revenues of that


    system as provided in this section, and that their construction


    shall be so scheduled that such assistance, together with similar


    assistance for previously authorized reclamation projects


    (including projects not now receiving such assistance for which the


    Congress may hereafter authorize financial assistance) will not


    cause increases in the rates and charges of the Bonneville Power


    Administration. It is further declared to be the policy of the


    Congress that the total assistance to all irrigation projects, both


    existing and future, in the Pacific Northwest shall not average


    more than $30,000,000 annually in any period of twenty consecutive


    years.  Any analyses and studies authorized by the Congress for


    reclamation projects in the Pacific Northwest shall be prepared in


    accordance with the provisions of sections 835j to 835m of this


    title.  As used in sections 835j to 835m of this title, the term


    ''net revenues'' means revenues as determined from time to time


    which are not required for the repayment of (1) all costs allocated


    to power at projects in the Pacific Northwest then existing or


    authorized, including the cost of acquiring power by purchase or


    exchange, and (2) presently authorized assistance from power to


    irrigation at projects in the Pacific Northwest existing and


    authorized prior to September 7, 1966.
