1996 elections: get involved
Article Abstract:
ASCE members should engage themselves in public policy debates, to enhance the participation of civil engineers in making public policy issues in the wake of the 1996 elections for US Senate. Writing letters to editors of local newspapers and campaigning for a preferred candidate increases contacts and provides important experience. ASCE members should attend political candidates' meetings to highlight the civil engineering issues. ASCE will present the agenda of civil engineering public policy to the committees of Republican and Democrat parties.

Three water-projects bills have a good chance of passing Congress before it adjourns on Oct 2, 1992. One bill authorizes several multi-million-dollar projects for the Army Corps of Engineers. Another bill, the Omnibus Western Water Projects bill, allows the release of $922 million to complete the Central Utah Project and $100 million for the Mid-Dakota Project. The other bill, which will reauthorize the Clean Water Act, proposes $33 billion financing for state revolving loans funds up to 1996.
