directed to proceed as soon as practicable with the construction,
operation, and maintenance of the proposed Hungry Horse Dam (including
facilities for generating electric energy) on the South Fork of the
Flathead River, Flathead County, Montana, to such a height as may be
necessary to impound not less than one million acre-feet of water. The
Hungry Horse project shall be subject to the Federal reclamation laws
