Excerpt from History of Federal Water Resources Programs and Policies, 1961-1970 It is always somewhat arbitrary to select one particular year rather than another as the beginning of a new period. But 1966 does seem to be the beginning 'of a new period, because the years 1965 and 1966 produced an exceptionally large number of ambitious water-oriented acts of Congress and several important Executive orders. Indeed, 1966 was intended, by both the executive branch and Congress to be a year of important new program beginnings in both water pollution control and comprehensive river basin planning oriented to the new water development purposes of municipal water supply and recreation. Because of Vietnam era budget stringencies, however, less fun ding was made available for these new programs than had been anticipated.

The relationship between federal and state water pollution policies is revealed and assessed in this incisive volume. Focusing on Congress's statutory directions in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 and state compliance, this study throws into relief the complex and often troubled relationship between the laws enacted by Congress and the public policies produced by state governments that implement them. Compliance at the state level can be affected and sometimes disturbed by state politics, particular policymaking processes, and the effects of federal oversight practices. As convincingly demonstrated in these pages, American water pollution policy reflects neither runaway bureaucracies nor Congressional control, but rather a complex intergovernmental process that is structured around Congress's statutory directions.
