Bruce Babbitt, US Secretary of Interior, visited the Klamath Basin area in Oregon to talk with Indians, farmers, and enviromentalists about an upcoming environmental impact statement on the Klamath Project. The Bureau of Reclamation currently struggles with providing farmers with enough water due to court ordered minimum levels for fish in reservoirs used by the Tribes during low water years. The farmers, the Klamath Tribes and environmentalists have made strides in developing a cooperative approach to the water problems, which includes throwing their support behind the tribes' efforts to take back reservation lands that went into Winema National Forest. Staff and news wires contributed to this report.
