SE. 2 . Any moneys expended on such construction from appro-
priations made under the authority of this Act shall be repaid to
the United States by the water users in not to exceed forty annual
installments. Any labor or materials supplied for such construction
by the Work Projects Administration, the Civilian Conservation

such terms as the President may fix for each project.
SEC. 3. No moneys may be expended on a project pursuant to the
authority of this Act unless and until (1) the Secretary of the
Interior has found, and has certified to the President, that the project
has engineering feasibility and that the moneys to be expeneded on
the project from appropriations made under the authority of this
Act probably can be repaid by the water users within forty years;
and (2) the President has approved said findings and has determined
that labor and materials for the construction of the project should
be made available to the Department of the Interior by the Work
Projects Administration or a similar Federal agency, in the amount
found by the Secretary of the Interior to make up the difference, if
any, between the estimated cost of construction and the amount
which can be expended from appropriations made under this Act
and probably can be repaid by the water users: Provided, That the
Secretary of the Interior may accept for the construction of the
project such labor or materials as may be offered by any State or
political subdivision thereof, State agency, or municipal corporation,
and may reduce by the amount thereof the estimated cost of construc-
tion to be met by the expenditure of Federal moneys.

money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, such sums of
money as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Act,
including investigations and surveys of projects proposed under the
authority of this Act; and, from such sums appropriated or trans-
ferred, expenditures may be made for personal services in the District
of Columbia and may be made for the same purposes and under the
same conditions as included in the appropriation Acts for the depart-
ments, establishments, and other agencies to which sums may be made
