DOCUMENTARY HISTORY OF THE FLORIDA CANAL 493

 It will be recalled that the amendment covering what is known as the
Florida ship canal project was offered by myself. The late Senator Fletcher
gallantly supported the amendment, and as a result of his arguments the
Senate agreed to it. Under the situation which exists, the House having voted
by a considerable majority not to concur in the amendment, it is my judgment
that the Senate should recede from the amendment, and I intend to vote to
do so.
 The Pam rID OmFcm (Mr. Schwellenbach in the chair). The question is on
agreeing to the conference report.
 The report was agreed to.
 Mr. AnDAs. I further move that the Senate redede from its amendments
 numbered 29, 80, and 41.
 The motion was agreed to.
 Specific provisions for the Florida Canal having been voted by the
 Senate but rejected by the House, was, therefore, omitted from the
 first deficiency bill, 1936.
 The Seventy-fourth Congress adjourned sine die on June 20, 1936,
 having (through the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935)
 authorized the canal and provided $5,400,000 to initiate its construc-
 tion, but having failed to make any specific appropriation for con-
 tinuation of the work during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1937.
 It stands therefore as an authorized and partially completed river and
 harbor project, awaiting further appropriation.
