Neil Decatur (217) 875-7689 Champaign (217) 359-0023 And because many lawmakers want to load up the measure with pet water projects that could ultimately cost $5.8 billion, a veto by President Reagan could keep them in town beyond their scheduled Oct. 4 departure. Another major hurdle is final action on a sweeping revision of the nation's immigration laws.

House and Senate conferees have settled on the major provisions of the hotly contested bill stiff sanctions against employers who hire illegal aliens, and amnesty for those who arrived before Jan. 1, 1981, and don't have criminal records. House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill said over the weekend that if President Reagan doesn't promise to sign the bill that emerges from the conference, he won't even bother calling it to the floor later this week. Still, it was clear there wasn't time left for routine money bills for much of the government, including foreign aid, the Agriculture Department, and the Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services, among others.

So Congress plans to wrap all that into the catch-all resolution. The House Ways and Means Committee, meanwhile, is scheduled to fashion legislation this week ensuring Social Security recipients a costof-living increase in January, even if the inflation rate does not hit the 3 percent trigger provided in current law.
