MR. C~RSONI Then I would like to have a discussian, Judge, particularly
from yau, wheth~r or not y'au think such a committee cauld get in there and help cur
Oongressiona1 d~legation and the Rec1amatian Association and the Bureau of Reclama-
tian on warkingjout any changes or revisians in H. R. 1770 .or the 1939 Reclamation
Law, whether itlwould be helpful .or harmful. Off the record. (Discussian off the
record.) 1
\
, CHAIRMAN STONE: Mr. Cars an, I have had the oppartunity in recent days of
not only ,seeingla lat .of reparts an this rathercanfused situatian with respect ta
project authori~atian, but of talking to Mr. J. G. Will, who is .of caunse1 far the
Bureau of Recla$ation; and I think without asking Jeff to stick his neck aut as to
views and apini~ns of the Bureau but to state the factual situation, it would be
very helpful tajthis Committee; and if Mr. Will is willing to do so, I should like
to have him da ~t. ,

(Remaqks by Mr. Will off the recor~)
,

CHAIm.(AN STON~1 We don't have taa lQng on this matter and I was wondering
as to praper prqcedure. We want to thank you, Mr. Will, for that very clear and
infarmative sta~ement; and may I say that what Mr. Will said is strictly .off the
record, na publ~City to be given ta it.

In orqer to take some actian an this wau1d it nat be well ta designate a
small cammittee pf three ta laok into this matter and repart back ta the Ca1arada
River Basin Stat~s Ca~~ttee?
,

MR. C~SONI Yes, I think that is fine. That would be fine with me. I
don't knaw when ~e can meet again.
J
CHAI!lMj\N STONE: We are gaing to, have a meeting be fare long on account of
the Calorado Riv~r Starage Praject.

MR. CA~SONI All right, that will be fine, I make such a matian, that
the Chairman apP9int a committ8s of three ta laok into this matter of the clarifica-
tian .of H. R. l7tO and the questions invalved in the veta of the Vennejo projec:t ~
the message canc+rning the Weber 'River Praject, and the basic reclamation pp~cY.
