| Long-Awaited Corps of Engineers Project Suspension List Released (502 words) |
| The list glosses over many of the nation's most wasteful and controversial water projects and rubber stamps more than one hundred projects so they will not receive any additional economic review. |
| A list of 171 projects eligible for further review was circulated by the Corps to Members of Congress yesterday. |
| However, according to a summary that accompanies the list, only eight projects are actually "being reviewed as a result of this exercise." Another 39 projects were already undergoing an economic re-evaluation when the nationwide pause was initiated, and the Corps will continue these evaluations before proceeding to construction. |
