Thaist the Paula Lewis Nobody sells more real estate than 1240 Senator says agency wastes money, breaks laws. By Stephen Buchholz Journal Staff Writer Sen. Tom Daschle introduced legislation Tuesday that would create a panel to investigate the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers. Daschle, said the investigation is needed because there is evidence that the Corps disregards laws, wastes taxpayer money and has become increasingly unaccountable. The Corps, among other things, rnanages the Missouri River and its dams. "My experience with the Corps in South Dakota, as well as the agency's actions around the country, raise serious questions about the accountability of the Corps and present a compelling case for a thorough review of the agency's operations and management," Daschle said. The Washington Post exposed several problems, Daschle said.

They include the existence of independent agendas, the rigging of studies to justify projects, little respect for environmental laws and catering to special interests. in South Dakota, Daschle said the Corps jeopardizes endangered species and erodes the Missouri's recreational value by allowing silt to clog portions of the channel. "More than 40 years ago, the Corps built dams up and down the Missouri River in order to harness hydroelectric power," Dasc hle said. "In return, it promised to manage the river wisely and efficiently. That promise: has not been Daschle said the Corps has blocked the transfer of Corps land along the river to the state and American Indian tribes with "excuses, scare tactics and misinformation." "It appears Corps officials are not nearly as concerned with preserving the river as they are with preserving their own bureaucracy," he said.

Daschle said the Corps values the barge industry over other uses even though other uses are more important economically. Navigation is a $7 million-ayear industry, but taxpayers pay $8 million a year on maintenance projects for it. A Corps spokesman would not comment. He directed all calls to the Pentagon. Col.

Ed Veiga, an Army spokesman, would not discuss Daschle's charges. He said the Army inspector general, the Army's undersecretary and an independent panel of scientists already are reviewing Corps operations. "The Army takes seriously any charges of misconduct, and that's why we are conducting these extensive reviews," Veiga said. "The Corps has a clear record of being an open and accessible organization, and everything that the Corps does is subject to public review." The legislation would create the "Corps of Engineers Investigation and Review Commission." It would investigate for two years. It would report its findings and suggested reforms to Congress.

The president would appoint up to 18 members, including six governors. Representatives from the Army, and the Interior and Justice departments also would sit on the commission.
