<br />,.,c <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />OJl.S78 <br /> <br />Every state touched by the colorado River or its tributaries <br />has a vital stake in friendly cooperation. Even California has <br />seen this, after many years of recalcitrance. The problems of each <br />state differ. No two states have projects that are alike. The era <br />of fighting must come to an end. <br /> <br />Colorado is the only state with more water than she can use. <br />She has had to devise projects, including tunneling under the <br />mountains, to use the water allotted to her. Arizona stood by Colo- <br />rado in every fight to let that state use water in her own way. <br /> <br />It is time for the seven states to go forward unitedly, to <br />authorize the remainder of the planned projects (including the Cen- <br />tral Arizona project), and to have faith in the vision and the work <br />of the great men who have toiled for more than a generation to bring <br />order into Colorado River affairs. <br /> <br />An attitude of "delay and grab" will serve no one and will hurt <br />almost everyone. The Colorado River is more than water--it is the <br />Mountain West's dream of prosperity for the future. Arizona hopes <br />that Rep. i'7ayne Aspinall will show vision where former GOV. Ed <br />Johnson has not, and will hasten Central Arizona Project hearings. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Copied: Ci'7CB/1J~ 7/21/65 <br /> <br />, <br />
