Congress approved the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act (Public Law 105-18) in June 1997 to provide Yosemite with $176 million specifically for flood recovery projects. Unless authorized by Congress, these funds cannot be used for other projects. As of February 2000, $70 million of the flood recovery appropriation has been spent.
