<br />d.ivish,)l1 i1!~,~orcling b.) QU,l' 3.'~'ility to pay., Vie canoi; ask fO:i' :~nOl'e th;.Hl <br />that be.(~("UBC we wouldn't !t1~('JW how to get it. <br /> <br />SE;CRET,AR'f, Thank yc.u" <br /> <br />'. <br /> <br />MR, SNOW: Mr. President, did I understand you to say that <br />the Upper Basin States would be required to contribute 1,5,00,000 to the <br />Lowell" Basin State", plua the amount to Mexico? <br /> <br />.~ <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN:: Absolutely. The compact says the Uppel' Basin <br />States are never to reduc,e the flow of the stream below 7.500,000 act'''' <br />feet per year, <br /> <br />MR. SNOW: Tha,t, has nothing to do with Mexico. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN~ And then Congress or the Stat~\1l granted us <br />and that's just as binding as the contract. <br /> <br />SECRETARY; We think the Lower Basin has to supply all <br />the Mexican water" <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />MR. SNOW; The language of the compact is that Mexico <br />gets her share Qut of the surplus not covered 1:Iy Article III!! and HIe of <br />the compact and if that surplus is not sufficient, the burden is divided <br />fifty-fi.fty 1?etween the two basins. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN: But then, what does that last statement mean-- <br />neVi'll' to let it drop below? It's a hard and fast rule of the law we know <br />we wilt hs've to observe. <br /> <br />MR. ROLLINS: Don't you think the terms of the compact <br />weloe in perpetuity.' '7,500,000 ac. ft is also hard and fast. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN: No; I can't see it that way. When tuat provision <br />was passed afterwards; that is, that we'll never reduce it he low that -- <br />r think ,that limits it after we fu~, nish that amount. <br /> <br />If you remember, the States ratified that. <br /> <br />MR. SNOW: The States did not, the committee approved it. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN: We had a committee to make that treaty. Didn't <br />we have a Tl'eat.y Committee? I wasn't at the meeting when that was <br />brought up, and it was recommended, and California dissenting. <br /> <br />MR. ROLLINS: The committee~) of 14 and 16 consolidated <br />but we had nothing to do with making the treaty. The only thing we could <br />possibly do, and they weren't even duty-bound to take our suggestion. <br /> <br />-19- <br /> <br />iio-> <br /> <br />." <br />
