bill
to

floor
in
the
nearly
20
years
the
International
project
has
been
proposed
in
legislation.
The
U.S.
Senate
has
already
passed
the
measure
which
would
authorize
U.S.
participation
with
Canada
in
construction
of
the
27-foot-deep
channel
In

St.

river.
The
seaway
would

larger

ships
to
steam
from

to

ports.

called
for

on
the
proposal
Thursday,
and

One
of
the
main
points
of
contention
in
the
debate
preceding
the
vote
Is
expected
to
materialize
around
an
amendment
relating
to
financing
of
the
U.S.
portion
of
the
project.
It
will
be
offered
by
Representative
Charles
Brownson
(Rep.-Ind.)
The
bill,
as
passed
by
the
Senate,
would
authorize
a
St.

Development
Corp.
to
sell
$105,000,000
In
revenue
bonds
to
the
U.S.
treasury
department.
The
bonds
would
be
retired
within
50
years
through
tolls
received
from
ships
using
the
waterway.
Brownson,
however,
will
propose
that
the
bonds
be
offered
to
private
investors
instead
of
the
treasury.
He
contends
that
if
the
project
would
be,
self-llquidatlng,

claimed
