 CoxxrrrEE AMENDMENTS
 The Committee amended S. 14 to strike all after the enacting clause
and insert a substitute text, and to amend the title to reflect a minor
technical correction.
 Aside from technical, clarifying and conforming amendments, the
Committee's substitute text made the following changes:
 A new Section 3 (a) was inserted to clarify the scope of the appli
cation of the Federal Reclamation Law.
 Section 3(d), as reported, was amended to provide 3 years rather
than 1 year for lands in excess of the acreage limitation under the
provisions of this bill to be placed under recordable contract.
 A proviso was deleted from Section 4 which would have limited
the acreage equivalency concept to lands in areas having less than
a 180-day frost free growing season.
 Section 6, providing for the termination of the acreage limitation
upon repayment of construction charges, was amended to authorize
the option of adopting a repayment schedule which is accelerated be-
yond the contractual schedule or the option of a lump sum payment
of the remaining unpaid construction charges as means of terminating
the acreage limitation upon the lands of the contracting entity.
 Language was added to Section 6 providing that indebtedness un-
der Rehabilitation and Betterment loans would continue the applica-
tion of the acreage limitation, however the option would be provided
to either terminate such loans by early repayment or to pay interest
on the portion of such loans attributable to water service for excess
lands. In either such option the acreage limitation would not apply.
 Section 7, relating to the application of the acreage limitation to
leased lands was amended to exempt lands under leases with terms
