The Secretary is authorized to provide for modifications of the
projects authorized by this subchapter as determined to be appropriate
for purposes of meeting the objective of this subchapter. No funds for
any such modification shall be expended until the expiration of sixty
days after the proposed modification has been submitted to appropriate
committees of the Congress, except that funds may be expended prior to
the expiration of such sixty days in any case in which the Congress
approves an earlier date by concurrent resolution. The Governors of the
Colorado River Basin States shall be notified of these changes.
(b) Contract authority; authorization of appropriations
The Secretary is hereby authorized to enter into contracts that he
deems necessary to carry out the provisions of this subchapter, in
advance of the appropriation of funds therefor. There is hereby
authorized to be appropriated the sum of $125,100,000 for the
construction of the works and for other purposes authorized in section
1592(a) or (b) of this title, based on April 1973 prices, plus or minus
such amounts as may be justified by reason of ordinary fluctuations in
costs involved therein, and such sums as may be required to operate and
maintain such works. The funds authorized to be appropriated by this
section may be used for construction of any or all of the works or
portions thereof and for other purposes authorized in subsection (a) of
this section, including measures as provided for in subsection (b) of
section 1592 of this title. There is further authorized to be
appropriated such sums as may be necessary to pay condemnation awards in
excess of appraised values and to cover costs required in connection
with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Policies Act of 1970 [42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.].
(c) Implementation of basinwide salinity control program
In addition to the amounts authorized to be appropriated under

the works described in paragraph (6) of section 1592(a) of this title
and carrying out the measures described in such paragraph.
Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, the Secretary may
implement the program under section 1592(a)(6) of this title only to the
extent and in such amounts as are provided in advance in appropriations
Acts.
