control projects along the Mississippi River and its tributaries were allotted $303 million, or $10 million more than the president wanted.June 19, 1996The Army Corps of Engineers, which builds most flood protection levees on a federal-local cost-sharing basis, uses a cost-benefit ratio to justify a project.

But the use of Section 205 international and congressional international pressure has given the corps a new perspective, Spohrer said.But even so, when the Clinton administration began to curtail spending on flood control and other projects a year ago, the corps stopped spending on Section 205 projects even after deciding to do a $70,000 preliminary Jean Lafitte study, Spohrer said.July
